Re: DFS and "The network name cannot be found"

I had that error message when I was fooling around with DFS and tried to
create a link to a share on my XP Pro workstation. This did not work
because XP Pro does not include the DFS Service; so even though the DFS
MMC reported the share as active, and of course it worked as a share, it
would not participate in the DFS system.
So I would suggest verifying that (a) the link target share is on a
Windows Server and (b) that the DFS service is running on that server.
