First of all, it's kind of obnoxious to say that you know you can
google for the answer but are too burdened... Or should I read that to
mean that you are too lazy to look for yourself?

In any case, W2K can have multiple levels of shares, and where you set
the share point is the point that can be mounted. If you want to use
//trinity-tigers/users/csldap1, then make that a share in W2K. Don't
expect that you can make users a share point but try to map to
csldap1. You can't even do that in the windows world.
