OBi202 file sharing is nice, but it does not show Chinese characters; all my file names and folder names in Chinese are shown as "??".  Did I miss anything?

Maybe something here can help.

QBZappy,

Thank for your reply.  However, this does not seem to be related to the operating system or my explorer.  Usually if the system is not properly set, the Chinese characters will be displayed as related extended ASCII characters.  But in my case, all the Chinese characters are displayed as question marks.  I suspect that the OBi202 firmware does not support Unicode characters.  Thanks.

einfostar,

I would be surprised if you would come to that conclusion, since there is a user base located in China (Hong Kong). I would have expected more reports from the Chinese speaking community. You could send an email to OBi support directly to see what they say.
