I _think_ what you have to do is let the login fail when setting it to use a domain and get it to stick (I can't remember exactly how I did this part, I just remember it was something silly). Then reboot. When you get the domain login, it should work this time. I _think_ the trick was not being logged in to the "computer", just the "domain". -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
