samba - Jun 2002 - Cannot use \\hostname\dir in Windows2000 client's windows explore r

Hello,

I am using samba ver 2.0.7 and the samba is running on a HPUX OS10.20
machine.  On win95,98 NT and even WinXP, i can simply type \\host1\dirA to
view the list of files in shared directories but for Win2000, will get a
prompt that Windows cannot find the path....

But the user already have and can access a drive mapped to the same dirA on
the host1 via the netlogon script. 

Really appreciate any advise on how we could resolve this.

 I hope upgrading the Samba ver is not the only option because we are
currently not ready to do that. 

Regards,
Michelle Seah

Make sure in explorer you have "Display the full path in the address
bar"

explorer [menu bar] -> Tools -> Options "Display the full path in the
address bar"
