This is probably a really stupid question, but..
How exactly does one set up the classic Windows login system? Where a user can login to any computer on the network by typing in their username and password into the classic Windows login box? I mean Windows XP here.

So you're basically saying if these computers all joined the same domain, any user account could log in from any computer?

no, if they were on a domain, u would have to set up accounts on the server, and only those accounts would be able to login.
