Although this hint is titled "How to connect to a Windows server or share", it doesn't actually say how.

"enter the domain as part of the username"

Huh? Which part? Can we get an example of the proper format?

Even though the hint does mention that what you need to do is separate the username and domain with a backslash "\", it does neglect to say in which order.

The format should be: domain\username
