Windows NT is about the only environment beyond plain DOS where DJGPP 
cannot support long file names.  On Windows 9X, Windows ME, and
Windows 2000, long names are supported.

Your colleague probably has Windows 2000, not NT4.

Alternatively, it could be that the program you use to display the file 
names has some option to downcase DOS file names, and that option is 
turned on on your friend's machine.
