Ummm....they should all be uncompressed at this point.
Have you tried installin this Win95 driver on a real NT 
workstation/server?  Strange....

Can you recreate this and send me the smbd level 10 
debug log?

Something is corrupted it sounds like.  Can send me a 
full trace (smbd debug log at level 10 & raw packet capture)
of problem #2 (please include the authentication step).


btw...please send me the debug logs, network traces, etc...
off list :-)
