bump for some clarification so that I might get some more help:
I am trying to make the e-smith my Domain Controller as well as my router/gateway. I turned it on in the console. I joined the Domain successfully from this client machine, but I can't login when XPprof starts up on this machine. I have created the user named "user0" and set the password countless times. However, everytime I try to login to the domain Controller (the e-smith box) it says that it's not available or soemthing like that.
help!

thanks and God Bless
