Getting 8 dot 3 file names Saving Across the Network

It's just an old machine that we use to save the files onto.

The main program I am using is Adobe Illustrator CS2. Example I named a file Bangor-FFA-Softball-2007.ai (the naming scheme I've been using for 6 years without problem)and I now have BANGOR~2.ai, BANGOR~3.ai, etc.
It happens whether I go to File Save or just hit Ctrl S. Since that's pretty much the only program I use all day, I was hoping to have time to uninstall and reinstall it today in case that has something to do with it before I try removing the network and having to set that up since that is apparently more complicated.

 

Hmm windows is reducing the file name to 8 characters like DOS does.

It's something simple but I can't put my finger on it.

 

It only does it when I save over the network (not onto my local machine) so they thought it was a network problem.

 

Uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator didn't fix it. So I did some more checking on-line and finally found my solution. There was an update to Illustrator CS2 because that was a problem with saving to non-Windows servers over a network. Previous to this version I've never known them to have updates (like most programs do) so I didn't even think of it. I feel like such an idiot, I just had to search for the right thing. I had started looking for an answer over a month ago but had to drop it because I got busy and I thought it was with other programs as well, but I remembered wrong. Sorry for wasting everyone's time but I really appreciate the help you offered. In case anyone else can't find the answer, here's the link http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331725&sliceId=1 Sorry again.
