Hi Jeff, I have never tried to use win2k with Samba, so I probably won't be much help. I do know that for NT workstation, you have to add the workstation machine name into the smbpasswd file. You may have already done this. I also know that for Windows XP there is a reg hack for domain logins. I don't know if this applies. I have also seen machines fail to login when DNS was not available. Hope you get it solved. Have you tried searching thru the samba list archives.?
