    Hello,
           I've got a strange (to me at least) problem here.

    I'm running samba (version: samba-2.2.8a) as a PDC on a network. I've
    just joined an IBM T21 WinXP Pro laptop to the domain, which went
    through okay, except for one unexpected factor:

    The T21's keymapping appears to be all crazy. By that, I'd refer you to
    keys U, I, O, P, J, K, L, : and M.

    All of these keys have alternate chars printed on them - for instance
    the "P" has "*" and "O" has a "6", and so on.

    Whenever a user logs onto the domain, these "secondary" chars appear to
    be the ones in use, and what you'd expect for "P" actually gets output
    as the "*" char. This happens regardless of the user that logs in, as
    long as its on the network, then those other chars appear to take
    precedence. This behaviour appears in all applications as well, from M$
    Word to attempts at typing a url into the address bar in IE.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd almost want to suggest that the key
    mapping appears to be that of a regular PS/2 keyboard!

    Has anyone noticed anything like this? If there's any more info I can
    provide, I'm willing to.

    Thanks for the time.

    Regards,

    Stacey
