XP home edition in a domain

[lxe13]

Hi,

I have 5 laptops with XP home edition, all of them are connecting with my
domain server without any problem but one.

Everytime we logon with that laptop, the server is asking for a username and
a password.

The account has been created on both the laptop and the PDC with same
username and password but it is still asking to enter it the first time we
connect to the shares on the servers. This is very annoying. What is weird,
is the pop up window gives us a name when asking to identify with the
server, and its not the one we are using to logon !! ?

Why this laptop has this problem and not the otherones ?

XP Home cannot logon to a domain...only XP Pro will do
this.

who said I was logging to a domain ?? I said connecting (to shares).
And everyone knows you can use shares on a domain with XP Home. (4 of my
other laptops are doing it, cant u read ?)

If you dont know what your talking about, just jump yo the next thread,
thank you.

You could see if a firewall exists - I had a similar problem an the xp
default firewall wass causing a share problem

This is normal with XP HOME. It does not save credentials and automatically
reconnect to shares. (This is often confused with the issue of domain
membership, but is a distinct issue.) This can be worked around in a batch
file, though it may raise a security concern.

I have a sample batch file there called "EasyMap" that might help.
