Hi,
I found one of my problems (it solved my problem on a computer that never
had seen the Windows domain).
It's a name resoltution problem , the dfs links are pointing to
\\Data\xxxxx...
I have to put :
A.B.C.D Data #PRE
in the lmhosts file of my Windows XP client (A.B.C.D is the ip address of
the Data computer).
and then it's working
(I first forget to put #PRE ans it was not working).

Your problem and mine is something around there.
There seems to be some undefined set of circumstances which a Windows
client requires to be aligned before considering a server a DFS root :(...
At this point I guess I'm going to have to let the Windows guys serve up
the DFS root, as I've had no luck getting the samba server working.
