Hello, We have a Samba 2.2.2 server acting as a DFS root server. When a Windows 98 logs on, the drive mapping is done succesfully but the client does not see the contents of the folders on the networkshare. If I don't use dfs but access the networkshare directly (using network neighbourhood) then it's possible to see the contents of the folders. Or if I go to DOS, then again there's no problem. With Windows2000 this problem does not occur. Can you use Windows98 as a DFS aware client in Samba? Any ideas or suggestions? Werner Maes KULeuven

The DFS client was built into Win98.
