I'm seeing something fairly odd where XP clients show some - but not nearly all -filenames as a random jumble of characters. The files are still perfectly accessible; if I tell windows manually what the file type is, they'll open.
I don't think it's a character set issue. Affected filenames contain alphanumeric characters (a-zA-z, no accents or anything outside ASCII), periods, and hyphens. It doesn't seem like any sort of client-side caching. I tried a couple different client machines that have never accessed the share before and they see the same incorrect names. This seems to happen only in directories with a large number of files (500+), but that could be coincidental. The problem always affects a handful of files in the directory rather than all files. The odd file names all look like "AH6I10~Z". Besides the tilde always being 2nd to last, the other characters don't have any consistent mapping to the actual file name.
