Art,
no you can't use the same name. What would happen if you had two different
computers in the same domain with the same name? The fact that Linux and XP
don't run at the same time doesn't prevent the problem. If you runned the two
different computers at different times, you'd still have the same problem.
Remember that by adding a computer to a domain, one is creating a machine
account on the domain. That account, like user accounts also as a password.
When one creates the Linux account it negotiates a password with the domain
controller. When Windows is added to the domain it also negotiates a new
password. Therefore, when one boots Linux again the password it tries
to use is
no longer acceptable - the reverse is also true.
Does this make sense?
Quoting Art Fore
Yes, I am using the same computer name. I would have thought that is what would be desired. If the computer is already a part of the domain, it would seem that it would still be. Will try renaming though.

: Worst thing is when I boot back into XP, I cannot login to the domain. I have to change to a workgroupo, reboot, change back to the domain, reboot, before I can login again. If I go back into suse, bhen back to XP again, have to do it all over again.
Art,
aren't you using the same computer name for both XP and Linux and adding both to the domain? If so, it can't work. If you want to have a dual-boot computer being part of a Windows Domain, you'll have to use two different hostnames for the Windows and Linux systems. If not, each time you add one system to the domain, you're removing the other.
Anyone have any suggestions furtther or knows where the yast samba client app puts the info when you first set it up?
