Not enough info.  If you are simply using Crossover Outlook, then
you specify your username, the domain and the password when you
bring the client up (generally speaking).  If the question is about
samba...there are many variables.  What security model are you using
(for example)?  You may have to rejoin the domain... in fact, if
you're not running 2.2.8a, (well actually I think it was fixed in
2.2.6 technically), you may have to rejoin to the domain often as
samba gets pretty confused otherwise.  Even so, with 2.2.8a, I
find it's best to restart it daily to avoid stability issues.
(mainly talking about security = server or security = domain)
