ubuntu and Windows Active Directory



 I installed a wubi version of Hardy on one of my work computers.  I edited 
the smb.conf file and added the our Windows group name and was able to 
access most of the computers and printers on the network.  I can not however 
access the file server.  We are running Windows 2003 with Active Directory. 

Normally, when I connect to a share listed Places->Network.  I am asked to 
provide a user name and password and then I am connected.  When I try to 
access the file server, I don't receive any message--Nothing happens. 

There is no error message or no error log entry 

I tired loading 
krb5-admin-server 

thinking that would solve the problem but it didn't. 

I edited smb.conf and assigned 
netbios name = jayLinux 

I added this name to Active Directory list of computers 

Didn't work 

I searched google for help on ubuntu and active directory and all the hits 
that I get explain how to set up and active directory server. 

Could someone explain to me or point me to an article for setting up Ubuntu 
so that I can access my work file server.
