[H-GEN] Samba and Windows XP

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone on this list has any information that might
help. I have read the Samba manuals many a time and googled, but have
failed to do what I want on Windows XP. I think ihmo Microsoft went and
change too much of how it all worked... Anyway...

With Windows 95/98, it was easy. You simply enter in the NT Domain that
you wanted to logon to, Client for Micrsoft networking etc.. And way you
go... You are presented with a logon screen, "username, password and
domain". The "domain" you can change obviously.

Now with Windows XP, how is this done ?

I am going to be setting up a Debian box at my father's school which
will run Samba 3. Now the school already has a domain running there off
a Windows 2003 box called 'vss', this appears in the domain list
(drop-down box) on the Windows XP clients.

I would like to know how to add another entry to this drop-down box, I
have read in the past that it's something to do with registered the
Windows XP machine with the Samba server, though I have never been able
to successfully do this...

I would appreciate anyone's experience on this,

cheers
James
