-Occasionally network administrators report difficulty getting Microsoft Windows clients to interoperate
-correctly with Samba servers. It seems that some folks just cannot accept the fact that the right way
-to configure an MS Windows network client is precisely as one would do when using MS Windows NT4 or 200x
-servers. Yet there is repetitious need to provide detailed Windows client configuration instructions.

-The purpose of this chapter is to graphically illustrate MS Windows client configuration for the most common
-critical aspects of such configuration. An experienced network administrator will not be interested in the
