	Our network has a PC server running PC Mac-Lan, Which allows Mac OS9 to link with the PC Server. (OSX can link via SMB) However when a collegue of mine renamed one of the folders on this server, via his Windows pro 2000 machine, OSX couldn't see the folder any more and refused to display it. and Mac OS9 showed the older named folder with a strap around it, and wouldn't open, saying we didn't have enough access privilages. My collegue then renamed the folder back to the original name on his PC, and everything was accessable again. Any ideas what would cause this ? Dragonfly.

	Dragonfly, PCMaclan is sharing the designated folders through it's own protocol and shared folders are set up via the maclan file sharing module much like appleshare, changing the name of the shared directory will cause access priveleges to be stopped unless the folder is re-shared within maclan. Maclan cannot dynamically adjust to renaming so it has to be done manually. Hope this makes sense.
