Tried that to no avail. It says that it does not recognize the domain name.
This is why I disjoined the domain, rebooted, then rejoined the domain.
Still no go. It is why I am thinking that it might be a workstation policy
issue. I agree with your conclusion but unfortunately it won't work that
way.

Thanks,

Brad
