(Was Caution Stoopid Newbie) - A better (Longer) explanation

[Jet Set Willy]

Ok, top marks go to both Mark and Michael as it is now working.
As was hinted in an earlier message I strongly suspect that it
was nearly working all along I just wasn't seeing the signals
it was sending me :-(

Anyway following the suggestions from Mark and Michael I 
have trashed my 98 network settings - resinstalled them and
it logs into my samba controlled domain without a problem !

Thanks once again to everyone for helping - specially Mark
and Michael guess I owe you guys a drink :-)
