Hello everyone, I am having a problem I can't find an answer to. Background: We had a RH 7.3/8.0 box with samba 2.2.7. Workstations were Windows 2000. We have 5 roaming users with laptops. when the roaming users would go home, they were able to log into the laptops without the presence of the domain (an yes, they were logging into the domain user at home). Current problem: Running RH 9.0 with samba 3.0 (I have not installed the 3.01 path yet). Workstations are all Windows XP with SP1. We still have 5 laptop users. When they go home, however, they are not able to log into the computer without the domain. it tells them the domain is not available. I have tried all the reg hacks; I have tried the local security policy fix; I have tried adding a local user with the same name; I have added the address for the server to the Wins setting in windows. Nothing seems to work. Can someone please lead me in the correct direction? I'm pulling out what's left of my hair. thanks Darin

I've also tried with Win2000k SP4 Proffesional and XP Home Edition (with TweakUI) -> no results. Simply can't logon to domain. Marcin
