NT4? That could well be your problem. I haven't tested pulling an NT4 file to
a Mac, but it does sound like the 8.3 notation that DOS had with long
filenames. You could try firing up the terminal on the Mac, and using
smbclient (have a read of
http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smbclient.1.html). There may
well be an option to support longfile names in NT4, I don't know that OS so
well. You could always try installing apple sharing service, and sharing the
folders as appleshares rather than windows.
