<pre wrap="">Hi Guys,
I'm really quite desperate now to get this machine working properly, I
really urgently need the help of someone who has done this and could
help me on both the Samba and Windows end of things.
If someone is able to offer assistance I would be forever grateful

When I get home tonight, before I go to sleep, I will compile my notes
into one 'tutorial'.<br>
<br>
I have just been so flat out, but the information I have here has
worked in every single case from Windows 98 to Windows XP unless the
machine itself has been in need of an F&R.<br>
<br>
These will be the best instructions I can offer, but as most of it is
on paper, I have just needed to find the time to *re-type* it... and
that has been the hold up.<br>
<br>
Talk to you later, though I'll post what I come up with to the list for
everyone's future reference (assuming it is useful and/or new
information).<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Assuming that you have Samba set up correctly
and the samba.conf file
reflects the correct shares, and other settings are ready to roll, this
'tutorial' (or more accurately a step by step guide of what has worked
for me), demonstrates how I
have successfully joined Windows 98 and Windows XP computers to a Samba
PDC in the past. I continue to refer to this method when adding more
PCs to my existing Samba PDC based networks and provided your Samba
shares and services are configured properly, this process should get
your Windows boxen logging on.</blockquote>

<blockquote cite="mid43A58745.5030000@pcphix.com" type="cite">That's
about it. Unfortunately I have not done this exercise
frequently enough to have perfected it just yet. Even now, these
instructions are a work in progress. But if you see something new or
something different; something that you haven't checked out yet, well,
that's probably what the problem is!<br>
<br>
Good luck and if anyone wants to improve on these notes, I'd love to
hear from you!<br>

A few final comments on what I wrote:<br>
<br>
(1) Always read the instructions completely BEFORE you begin.<br>
(2) It was late at night / early in the morning. Spelling errors
(unless in the actual commands to be typed!!) should be forgiven.<br>
(3) For anyone who wants to double-check, debug or correct my / my
information - please do so!!<br>
<br>
Good luck, Chris. I hope these notes will be of some use to you.<br>
<br>
They have worked every time for me... except for one single time where
they didn't work until after we formatted the Windows XP machine -
still don't know what changed - but you already said you tried that...<br>
<br>
Nite! ;)<br>
