SYMPTOMS
When you share a CD-ROM drive and connect to it from a Windows for
Workgroups client and you run the DIR * command from a subdirectory of the
CD-ROM, the directory listing does not include the double dot (..) entry
that represents the parent directory.
This behavior does not affect functionality, but when you use this command
in LAN Manager, MS-DOS, or Windows for Workgroups, the directory listing
does include the entry for the parent directory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
