It sounds like the XP boxes are not part of the domain. They are probably connected workgroup-style (that is share-level passwords like 9x) rather than as a 'real' w2k network. > I have set up a user on the XP Pro box, and given that user membership > of ALL groups.

Once you have domain logons configured correctly you won't need the user on the XP box. However, that's probably not the problem - the use issue is probably a red herring. I suspect you problem is the level of authentication you allow. If you have lanman auth = no and ntlm auth = no then your clients must be configured for ntlmv2 support. You may want to check the samba HOWTO on the www.samba.org site. The relevant registry entries are listed below. ; NLMv2 responses only (dc's will accept any though) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] lmcompatilbiltylevel=dword:0x00000003 ; Only NTLMv2, period [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contrl\Lsa\MSV1_0] NtlmMinClientSec=dword:0x00080000 NtlmMinServerSec=dword:0x00080000 HTH, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
