Are there special issues when using XP home with Samba? I have a machine that when trying to log in as the user Mike, the logs show that it is trying to login in as Mike Barsalou. I tried making another user mbarsalou but I can't get it to authenticate properly. I was thinking it was a feature of XP home. Anyone have ideas? Mike
From what I have read the networking stuff in win xp home is limited an the settings are hidden, I gathered that to get on corporate networks you needed the pro version. I have not had any dealings myself with xp yet. have a copy coming in this afternoon an plan to put it on my station at home, but i orded the pro version after reading what I did about the home version, from a few tech sites on the net.

Hi,
Correct, XP Home will only function in a workgroup, you need XP Pro to join a
domain
