Windows 7 NIOS Cmd Prompt Network Drive ls error

I having an error where I can't list a network drives directory's contents from the NIOS II Command Prompt, although I can cd into the directories. Here's the ls output:

[NiosII EDS]$ ls -al

ls: reading directory .: Function not implemented

total 0

drwxr-xr-x 1 StefanLevie mkpasswd 0 Jan 25 10:13 ./

drwxr-xr-x 1 StefanLevie mkpasswd 0 Jan 11 18:16 ../

Windows7 x64, Quartus 9.1.

And yes I know Altera is not fully supported on 7, but I had to get away from Win2000 to run 9.x.

Thoughts? Solutions?

Thanks

    I just tried out the NIOS II command prompt on my Windows 7 x64 system with a network drive.

    If I run the command prompt as myself (not as administrator), I can access network drives fine. If I run the command prompt as administrator, I can no longer access the network drive. However, I find that many of the NIOS tools do not actually work correctly unless I run the command prompt as administrator.

    you might look into the cygwin mailinglists to see if other users are experiencing similar issues with Windows 7 (listing network drives) and if there is a work around. search the web for windows 7 cygwin.
