subject: valid netbios names

 ml>> i have a win95 machine on my network that has a - (hyphen) in it's

i've already eliminated that as (part of) the problem...
 ml>> in fact, in netscape/2, i am unable to save anything to a mapped

all files i've tried have definitely been 8.3 and i DO NOT do FAT32 on any of 
my Win95 boxes... i'm a tech (20 years) and have been beating on Win95 since 
it hit the streets. i know better ;-)
