Looking further down, I must be honest in saying don't even know what a 
domain is. I use Samba to access shares from network 'nix boxes from 
Windows boxes /only/.

I've just reinstalled XP home sp 1 on a workstation here and can see the 
'nix Samba shares "out of the box" i.e. w/o any  configuring other than 
joining the workgroup I set up for the entire network (3 windoz + 3 nix boxes).
