Hello Jerry,
I don't exactly understand your networking context.
Now, since you apologized, you're of course forgiven. ;-)
More seriously, your Mac users are thus using machines (Macs, I presume) bound to AD?
And they get their home directories automounted, accordingly to their credentials (e.g. a user name / password combination)?
Once logged in, do they have access to both shares?
Are those shares automounted as well?
Which protocol (AFP, SMB...)?
Are the corresponding share points on a same server, or on two distinct servers?
Once logged in as a Mac user, could you execute following command in Terminal.app
mount
and provide us with its output?
Axel
