Bill, I haven't tried logging in through a proxy, so I don't know if
this will work for you, however it worked for me when our Telecomm folks
turned off udp forwarding through ports 137, 138, & 139.

In your lmhosts file, put in lines like the following for your PDC:

 192.68.1.3  mypdc    #PRE    #DOM:mydomain
 192.68.1.3  "mydomain       \0x1c"         #PRE
 192.68.1.3  "mydomain       \0x1b"         #PRE

Note that the number of spaces between quotes in the second and third
lines lines are pertinent;  there should be 15 characters (including
name and spaces) before the hex values.
