One is running Red Hat 9.0, anouther is running Windows XP Pro. and my server is running Server 2003. the Linux box is runnign a filesharing server and a http server and is on a workgroup with the XP box, however I can not get this work group to join the domain can someone give me some possible problems or soultions.

OK I think your terminology is part of the issues. Workgroups require little or no authentication and really are only around to permit the sharing of common pool resources .. file shares, printers, etc..

Domains are really about security boundries with 2003. Hell come to think of it Domains have been that way since 4.0 ... I'm not up on my Linux interoperability, but the XP machine just needs to join the domain. Do note though, that you must be running XP professional to join a domain. that functionality is not available to XP Home.

Does that help?
