Client for Windows is there in network properties thingy.
Firewall rules (on poptop server) are:
[root at linux-server /root]# ipchains -L
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
target     prot opt     source                destination           ports
MASQ       all  ------  192.168.1.0/24       anywhere              n/a
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

WINS server is specified in /etc/ppp/options (as ms-wins 192.168.1.2) and 
it pops up ok in winipcfg
Also c:/windows/lmhosts has ip address of all the NT machines (and thier 
NETBIOS names).

Still cant login to NT domain.
While it says "Logging on to network" it pops up the dialog box for domain 
login. After getting the username and passowrd,
it says "No domain controller is found to authenticate ..." and "some of 
the network resources will not be available ..."

I DO see the linux smb (which is running on the same machine as poptop), 
and another NT share that doens not require passord. but other drives are 
not visible (becauz they need a valid user).
