Christopher,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I think this is what's happening. It's funny they
do not mention it anywhere.
Now have to search for all w95 PCs in the building and try to convert them
into thin clients.
Thanks,

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
