Thanks for the ideas. But:
1. Both Wins and DNS are the same on both machines (they are disabled)
2. On both machines the hosts.sam files are the same.

The Compaq still doesn't log on, the Tulip does.
The problem isn't resolved yet...

So, apparently it's a client side problem.
How can I troubleshoot the Compaq?
Thanks

A few ideas:
1) I suspect it's a WINS or DNS problem - the Compaq cannot
resolve the address of the domain it's trying to log on to.
Have you got a "hosts" or "hosts.sam" file on the Tulip
machine? If so, copy it to the Compaq. Otherwise, check the
DNS & WINS settings very carefuly for discrepancies between
the two PC's setups.
2) Clutching at straws time :-)
Are the local (presumably NAT) IP addresses of the two PCs
the same? If not, try making the Compaq the same as the Tulip.
