Windows Samba problem

[gcardenas]

Hi everyone ,

I'am new using Linux and SAMBA, so I hope you can help me to solve this
problem :

I have installed a SAMBA Server, I have created users and I can log in to
the server, nevertheless, everytime I access the server, I lose my local
Windows profile (I use the "same  user and password").

What should I do to access my SAMBA server without losing my local windows
profile (XP)?

What do you mean with "lose the profile"? Is it a Linux server with
some shares and you connect to the shares (eg. net use
\\myserver\myshare)?

Is the Samba server a domain controler?

If so, you are now loging in as a domain user. Look at the "Documents
and Settings" folder on your Windows computer. If your user name is USER
and your domain is called DOMAIN, you will now see a folder named USER
and another one named USER.DOMAIN. The first one contains your former
local profile and the new one contains your domain profile.

If you want to use the same profile, you must copy it to the server.
Please search for "Roaming profiles" and "Folder redirection".

Excuse me for not being more specific but I just don't have the
necessary time now.
