Re: mac files names problems

SMB file sharing does not translate disallowed character names on the
server. It would appear that you are connecting to the w2k3 Server with SMB
and the w2k Server with afp. To have the SFM service translate these
characters you will need to connect to the w2k3 Server using
afp://servername. Note: w2k3 Macintosh shares are created read only so that
setting will need to be changed to write the files to the Server. This
setting is a checkbox on the general tab for the share.
