I am using FreeNX 0.7.1.

Done. For the loopback adapter enablement, I followed http://www.bitvise.com/msla-winxp2003

It partly does now. From the server session, if I start konqueror and  
browse to smb://127.0.0.1:4000, I see 2 shares (netlogon and  
profiles), but these are not the shares on the Windows client, but  
rather on the Domain server on the Windows client network. Why are  
they showing up instead? And when I try to get inside one of these  
shares, my username and password don't work at all. The authentication  
dialog keeps popping up and never succeeds.

Also I have created a local shared folder on the Windows client and  
that share does not show up on the server session. Same is true with  
the printers too.

I had one other question. My organization has Citrix infrastructure  
and I see those guys getting their printers and shared mounted on the  
server-side with no additional loopback adapter enabled (unless the  
Citrix client installation process does it, but this could be  
installed by a non-admin user, so that cannot be it) etc. How do you  
think that works?

I think I am so near, but yet so far.

Thanks,
Prakash
