I have just reproduced the 'dir' problem with two computers, both running FreeDOS on real hardware, and MS-Client.
FreeDOS kernel date: 2007-12-08 Hard disk: 2MB, FAT16 Memory management: HIMEMX.EXE + JEMM386.EXE Protocol: NetBEUI A 'dir' command in the client results in exactly the following: -------------------------------------------------- g:\>dir *.* Volume in drive G is MARCOS_2GB unimplemented internal dos function INT2F/120a Directory of g:\*.* . <DIR> 9/08/08 0:27 0 bytes in 0 files and 1 dir 1,051,394,048 bytes free -------------------------------------------------- Differently from what Uli reported, typing 'dir' a second time does not help in my case. Other commands, such as copy and type, work normally in both directions. In his instructions about DOS networking, Jacco de Leeuw says in the MS-LanMan section: "Microsoft has a bad reputation for writing buggy software so do expect some quirks." Perhaps this is one of them.
