Hi, All the information I found shows that Windows 7 may operate in a samba domain only if aunt made these changes in the registry: ? HKLM \ System \ CCS \ Services \ LanmanWorkstation \ Parameters ???????????? DomainCompatibilityMode DWORD 1 ???????????? DWORD DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0 But what do these values? Why should you be DomainCompatibilityMode = 1 and not 0 or DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0 and not 1, to work? Thank you, Claudiu
