Mapping to linked folders from mac to a smb server

Hi

I can connect to the smb2003 server from my powerbook G4 without
problems.

One of the folders on the server contains folders that are links to
other folders on the server. When a windows machine connects the see
these folders. My mac however sees foldername.ink and seems to think
its an executable file ..or at least not a folder.

Is there a way I can see the content of such folders? My english is not
perfect and I'm not sured if the folders are called "linked folders" ..
but they are the equivalent to symbolic links of the mac. I would
really like to be able to see these on my mac too.

Thanks
