 Hello, I am having some trouble logging a win2k box into a Samba 2.2.2 PDC.
 Win98,95, and ME boxes can log in fine. When I try and log in my win2k box
I
 get this error:

 "The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or
 local user account to access this server."

 Maybe someone can shed some light on this strange error?? I do have a user
 account set up on the samba server along with a machine account which I am
 told is needed. I can map drives manually off of the server I just cannot
 "log into" the PDC normally. Here is what it says in the error log when I
try to join the domain with win2k service pack 2 machine...
