Hmm... that's odd. How is it that you have winbind installed? You should
only need winbind if you are trying to connect to a Windows NT domain
(not sure about Active Directory)

First, you should tell us a few things:
1. Are you running Windows XP Home or Professional? XP Home treats
domains in a different way, i.e. it cannot login to one
2. Are you trying to get your FC5 computer to join a domain? If so, what
kind (NT4 or Active Directory)?
