samba - Mar 2006 - Windows not letting me connect to a samba server

I have a Windows XP pro install and I need to create a link to an AIX box as
a drive letter.

 

Every time I try to make the connection it asks for the user name and
password.  When

I enter same widows keeps pre-pending the name of the computer to my
username

Thus:

 

Computername/username

 

And the aix box of coarse rejects the connection.  I am unable to find the
reason for the

Pre-pend.

 

Help

That is how windows works.    Try entering the username of
"{DOMAIN}\{USERNAME}".
