Anyone here know a way to logon from a winxp home edition to a samba server? I tried a little utility, i even get a login window when i reboot my winxp but it says that it can't find any domain server and cannot connect. Isn't there possible to connect a winxp home to a samba, at all?
 
Are you trying to set up a domain? - XP home can't join a domain.

If you're just trying to set up a peer to peer network, make sure that you have created a samba username with a password that matches the windows username & password - see man smbpasswd.
 
I already have a domain. I was wondering if there's any chance, at all to join that domain with a winxp home, as you said there's no chance.
Thanks for your time :)
 
Actually, there is a registry hack for this. I just want to make sure that was what you're after. Search the XP Pro forum forum779 for home join domain and I'm sure you'll turn it up.
