I think you missed my point. If you are logging on authenticated by a local W2K you should use "computername/username" as the user name in Oracle. Then you have to use that specific computer to log on with OS authentication
If you are autenticated by a Domain Controller you should use "domainname/username" as the username in Oracle. Then you can log on with that username on any computer in that domain using OS authentication.
