I'm well aware of that. I didn't say new to networking, just windows
networking. :)) They both have different names and there are only two
pc's, the PDC and the XP client. I've changed the XP machines name
repeatedly and rebooted each time as the machine requests and it still
doesn't work. I only wish it was easy as the error says. Thanks for your
reply though!

I'm finally getting somewhere in setting up my FreeBSD PDC. I try and
login via my XP client and now it gives me this odd message. "Cannot
login because a duplicate user already exists on the network. Please
goto control panel and system and change your computer name." Sorta
paraphrased there, perhaps off by a word or two but that's pretty
much what it tells me. I'm just using system users and smbpasswd for
setting up users. Not sure what other info may be needed. The
following is my smb.conf and my logs. I'm new to Samba and windows
networking in general so go easy. =) Thanks in advance.

basic network rule = each computer must have a different name. Windows
XP - Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System
Computer Name (tab) -> Change Name (pick something unique)
