Problem with group security

Thanks for the response. I tried that but it still didn't
work. Then I got looking at it and saw that the user is
logging into his XP nachine using the local account - not
the domain account. The group contains membership for
domain accounts only. SO, I bet if he logged onto his XP
machine and specified the domain, he'd be all set.

This baffles me though, in that I thought that if your
local profile username and password were the same as the
domain username and password, you would automatically be
authenticated in the domain and therefore be able to gain
access to domain resources??

This doesn't seem to be happening. Is there something
that needs to be setup on the XP machine to automatically
have it log onto the domain as well?

THanks,

Brad
