This is what it should look like:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/net
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-12-05 17:51 /usr/bin/net -> /etc/alternatives/net
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/net
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-12-05 17:44 /etc/alternatives/net ->
/usr/bin/net.samba3
$ ls -l /usr/bin/net.samba3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5258980 2009-10-01 16:45 /usr/bin/net.samba3

So I think that on your machine, the /etc/alternatives links are not
set up for the "net" command.

Try this:

$ sudo update-alternatives --auto net
