Here are instructions for accessing HAL-LAB domain computers from
Windows XP Professional.

0)  To access files on any of the HAL-LAB domain computers,

      Dopamine
      Endorphin
      Erlanger
      Gasser (Linux Samba 3.0.2a Sserver)
      Neurotensin
      Katz
      Levi-Montalcini
      Neher

    you must have a HAL-LAB domain account which has been granted access
    on that computer by the rig captain.  Access is available only from
    Caltech 131.215.x.x networked computers, or from Caltech VPN clients.

1)  Right-click on My Network Places, and select the menu item,
    Map Network Drive.

2)  For the purpose of exposition, suppose you want to access the computer
    named Katz, and that your account is HAL-LAB\bbeaver.  Then, in the
    dialogue box, specify

      Drive:  (any drive letter)
      Folder:  \\Katz\Users

    and then click on the blue link,

      "Connect using a different user name"

    In the "Connect As" dialogue box which appears, specify

      User name:  HAL-LAB\bbeaver
      Password:  (your HAL-LAB domain password)

    then click OK.

    Then click on the Finish button to complete Map Network
    Drive, and a window should appear displaying the
    contents of C:\Users.
