what a nice way to say that :-).

I'm not a Windoze expert at all, but I vaguely remember you (Michael) stating
in the past that there is a difference between the default C$ share and an
explicitly created share ... assuming my memory is correct, might that be
the issue here? I.e. does anything change if you (Tapio) explicitly create
a share and use that (or use the C$ share if you were previously using
something different)?

If I were in the unlucky situation of having to deal with Windoze hosts,
that is what I would use. From what I have read on this list, it seems
to be the best choice.
