[Samba] Workstation service failing

[Joseph E. Werle]

I am having the same problem with one of my xp boxes.   The only 
solution i have found is that when the machine boots you must first 
login to the Local Administrator Account not the domain.  then you can 
log out and log onto the domain as a normal user.  In my investigation i 
have found that the Computer Browser service is failing, One sugestion i 
have gotten is to set that service to logon to the locol administrator 
account.  Havent tried this as of yet, I'll let you know how it  works.  
This is a strange error because i have 2 other XP boxes running 
identicle copies of XP with no problems
