 From the link in my post from June (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909264):
==========================
Special characters
Period (.).

A period character separates the name into a NetBIOS scope identifier
and the computer name. The NetBIOS scope identifier is an optional
string of characters that identify logical NetBIOS networks that run
on the same physical TCP/IP network. For NetBIOS to work between
computers, the computers must have the same NetBIOS scope identifier
and unique computer names.

... and one last question, just out of curiosity: I understand that NT-4 domains do not support workgroups of the form example.com the way we think. On the other hand, I am able to log-in from my clients on my example.com domain. So, in a way it seems that domains of that scheme are only "partly-supported"...I don't know...

 thank you again for your help.
