Hey guys, I think I found my problem. Now I just need to figure out how to 
fix it.

I checked the NT 4.0 box, and for network identification, it has the DOMAIN 
set to COURTESY.
In smb.conf, the workgroup = COURTESY.

Went through the book, and it stated that if it is set like that, you will 
experience problems. :-/

Ok...now I need to figure out how to fix this.

The tricky part is, all our users have a mapped drive to the NT 4.0 server. 
I have to take that into consideration before I make some changes.

Anyone have some suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

I appreciate it.
