FW: WinXP Pro not finding PDC

[Kevin Flanagan]

Black eagle,


	With SMBclient you need to pass the username as well, I don't
know the syntax off hand. 

	You could also mount the device 
		mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password
//server/share /mount/point


Mounting the device is a lot easier than using smblcient.
