In chapter 8.2.2 Joining a domain: Windows 2000/XP Professional (on page
131)
point 4 says:
"Click the computer name tab. [...] Clicking the Network ID button will
launch
the configuration wizard. Do not use this with Samba-3."
I was asking this because I used it also with Samba-3 and I would like to
know
if there are some side effects when using it or why it is explicitly
mentioned.

Thanks.
