Pavlo,
Not sure if I am reading your question correctly, but it sounds
similar to issues I've encountered mapping drives on Win9x and NT4
systems. In W2K you have the capability to map through a share point
to a specific folder (\\servername\user$\userfolder). With Win9x
clients you will only map as far as the share
point(\\servername\user$).
Haven't done much with DFS, but it sounds like maybe you are hanging
at a share point. The solution I've used is to simply share each
users folder directly if connecting from Win9x.
HTH,
Christopher
