can't copy files from Win2K RTM

I am running Win2K (RTM build 2195) and ever since RC2 I have had problems
copying files from my Win2K machine to my RedHat 6.1 Linux (stock kernel
2.2.12-20) box. The Linux box is running Samba 2.0.6.

I either get:

J:\mail\archive\todo\dingo>copy dmail-122499 \\alder\mikenel
Access is denied.

Or I get a file with a funny character created on the box:

[...] 
-rwxr--r-- 1 mikenel mikenel 4542564 Dec 24 17:09 [extended ASCII char]
[mikenel at alder ~mikenel]#

There are rare occasions when file copying actually does work, but I
haven't pinned down the exact circumstances yet. I can use the GNU touch
command on NT against a Samba share without any problems. 

>From quickly looking at the packets, it seems as though there is a one off
error somewhere when locating the beginning of the path name. 

I have two Network Monitor traces posted at

I am not currently on this list, so please include me in any replies.

thx,
