Try in a dos-box on the troubled XP-machine (start menu -> run -> command com) to type NET USE. Any shares with your server that are listed should be removed, using NET USE \\computername\sharename /delete. This worked for me after trying without results to join a computer to a domain. -------Original Message-------
From: André Fadel Date: 02 decembrie 2002 08:57:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] WinXP duplicate computer name problem I've setup Samba as a PDC and it's working fine. I have one windows xp machine already joined in the domain and working ok. But when i tried to add another WinXP machine to the domain, i got the error: "Could not join domain because the computer name is duplicated on the network". I don't think those were he exact words, but that's what it meant. Now, there is NO other computer with that name. In fact, there is only one computer already in the domain, and they do not have the same name. What could cause that? I followed the same procedures for both of them, either in samba (linux) as in WinXP (workstations). I'm out of ideas here, can anyone help me out?
