Title: File sharing problem (IBM PEER)
Post by: klipp on 2008.01.16, 18:59:11
When designating a Drive or Directory with a lot of folders for sharing there seems to be a limit as to how many files or directories can be shared. For example I'm sharing a directory that has all my downloads, It contains about 50 directories with included files and about 30 files that are not in directories.  Trying to use this "Share" from another machine works O.K. except that even though all the directories and files are displayed, only about the first 21 directories contents can be displayed and the remaning directories are blank.
  Is there a parameter somewhere that I can change to increase the number of files and subdirectories that can be shared?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Klipp

Do you have the latest IBM PEER and network stack files? Also, could it be a filesystem issue with long filenames or something? Im really not sure here.

 Yeah, I'm running this on RC-4, but problem exists on all prior releases. I keep looking for a setting in IBMLAN.INI for a setting to change that will correct this, but so far -- no luck.

Okay, yeah. I have seen this as well with RC4. I shared my root eCS directory so that my roomate could see me in the Vista network resource browser. I'm not sure what number of files showed up, but it certainly wasn't my WHOLE root, just some of it. Right now I am just trying to get my File & Print Resource Browser to show all the computers that it used to (immediately after fresh install), but wont now.
