[Samba] WinXP. Ugh.

[Thom Paine]

I just rolled out a new network, RedHat 7.2 server with 5 WinXPPro
workstations. I am not using the domain stuff, just the workgroup. It's
running okay so far, but I did not get as much time to test as I wanted.

I just haven't figured out the domain stuff yet.

If it makes you feel better, I've had the same kind of grief with Win2K
and WinXP machines trying (or not trying?) to find a *Win2K* WINS
server.
