samba - Oct 2002 - Wierd error logging into Samba 2.2.5 from Winxp

Hello. I have a network with a server running Samba 2.2.5. I just recieved a
laptop from Compaq with winxp on it. I already have a few winxp boxes on my
network connecting to the Samba server just fine so I though setting up this
laptop should be a breeze but after I change the required registry entries on
this laptop (the "requires sign or seal registry entry to 0") It gives
me the error

"No mapping between account names and security IDs was done"

When I try and get it to join the domain.

The laptop is on the network/can browse the network and reach the internet. All
other boxes including my other winxp boxes are logging into the samba server
correctly. I can connect to individual shares on the samba server from the
laptop that is having trouble. I just cannot join the domain??

Any ideas on what is going on??

Thanks a lot for any suggestions. If anyone needs any more info please ask.

Can you try upgrading the samba 2.2.6 just to make sure this isn't 
and old bug?

Thanks for the idea about making sure the machine name was added to passwd
and smbpasswd but that was not exactly the problem but led me to the answer.
The computer name that I added to the Linux box was EvoLaptop1 (notice the
mix of upper and lower case letters in the name). I also added this to
smbpasswd. This machine name also conincided with the one on the laptop.

I re-named the laptop evolaptop1 (all lower case) and added the machine name
to passwd and smbpasswd (all lower case also) and now it works!!! Looks like
you cannot mix upper and lower case letters in your computer name and
machine name on the Linux box??!

Thanks
