 Grateful for answer me;
 
 How can I configure XP to use NTMLv2? Any special suggestion for this?

 I still have workstations that are old enough no to support even Windows 7

 About upgrading from version 4.11.4 to version 4.12.3, will I have problems with that smb.conf and with the ./configure used? 
Will Windows XP be a problem even when  I switch to NTMLv2?
