------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone,

I have a heterogeneous network at home.  My primary system runs Fedora
Core 4 (and Core 3 and 2 before that, respectively).  Before I started
with Linux, I had the other systems, which run eComStation 1.15 (OS/2
Warp 4.5+ and prior versions), Windows 95osr2, and my laptop with
Windows XP home in a peer network with no problems browsing the various
shared resources.

The problem is that I never was able to get Gnome's network browsing to
view the OS/2 resources, although it browses the Windows resources just
fine.  I finally came across KDE's LISa and Konqueror, which will browse
all of the other machine's resources, however there is a problem.

My OS/2 system runs with an HPFS formatted drive, with the D and E
partitions shared.  On the D partition, there are 167 folders.
LISa/Konqueror will only display 118 of those folders.

Since the Windows systems will browse the OS/2 shares without any
problem, and show all of the folders, I don't think that this is a
problem with OS/2's file and print sharing.

What could be happening here?  I can work around it by copying files to
one of the Windows systems to get to it that way, but I would rather do
things directly rather than working around them.  How do I get
LISa/Konqueror able to fully browse the OS/2 resources?  Is there any
resource that can help with this issue?

TIA
