[nflug] duplicate name - samba ldap winxp

[Darin Perusich]

I'd start by inspecting your Samba and the laptops logs for relevant 
errors. The client system might have an idea as to which system has it's 
"name". If this leads nowhere you may need to load up wireshark and 
start sniffing the network traffic, likely from the laptop.
