Namespace resolution issue. I've got 2 questions for you based on the fact
that W2K will perform the following in *sequence* to resolve a resource
(with some exceptions):

a) consult host file
b) query DNS server
c) consult lmhost
d) broadcast via netbios
e) query Wins

Which W2K client mapping do you beleive would occur first in a network with
a DNS server?

net use Z: \\server1\share

or

net use Z: \\server1.domain.com\share
