Default Accessing large NTFS directories demands 8.3 formatting

We have just upgraded an old Novell Netware6 file server to a new Server 2003.
When accessing the share from a Windows 98SE workstation and attempting to
create a new directory with more than 8 characters, I get an error message
that the disk being written to is only a FAT and cannot have more than 8+3
characters.

This did not happen when logged in to the original server.

Why does it not recognise the correct size and treat it as FAT32? It can
read files already on the server in long file format!
