Hi Trevor,

Thank you for the inquiry about the log in. I have been trying to log in to
the domain, not the local machine. However, when I log in to the local
machine, that is when I am asked for a user name and password when I try to
browse the network. I have been trying a number of things and perhaps I
didn't make my methodology clear.

I also tried logging in as Username@domain.local and that also failed to
work. I suspect that there is a very reasonable explanation as to why this
is happening and and equally reasonable and simple solution. I just haven't
been able to wrap my arms around it, however.
