You need to set the registry value OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN to TRUE. The value is located under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<your oracle home>. Alternatively, just delete it as the default value is TRUE.

You've probably done this, but also make sure that the OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX init.ora parameter is set to "". If it isn't, set it and bounce the database.
