Executables not executing

Hi all,

	I'm running Samba 1.9.18p7 and I'm having a problem where I 
can't execute a file on the samba drive, but if I copy it to a local drive,
it works.  The client is Windows NT Workstation 4.0 w/ service pack 3.
The executable is named Netscape405.exe.  The error I get in explorer is:

Can not find F:\Netscape405.exe.  Windows needs this to run F:\Netscape405.exe

I find that if I change this to an 8.3 name, it works.  Why?  I'm using 

     preserve case = yes
     short preserve case = yes

Thanks in advance.

Brian
