If you expect to see the iSeries from Windows explorer, then you must be
running Netserver.  Netserver has a place where the _WINDOWS_ domain name
needs to be enter.

You can configure Netserver from iSeries Ops-Nav.  Note that you'll need to
use the "downlevel" Windows domain name normally used by Win NT and Win 9x
systems.

I know it's kind of confusing, the Windows domain name and the TCP/IP domain
name are two different things.  Even more confusing is that with Win 200x
and active directory, the Windows domain name is basically the TCP/IP domain
name.   But Windows 200x active directory allows you to specify or will
configure for you a "downlevel" domain name to use with NT or Win 9x
clients.  This downlevel name is what you need to stick into the iSeries
Netserver.
