I don't know if this is related to this problem, but I noticed that

my win XP box doesn't connect to a samba 3.0.0 server if I set the regkey

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000000

to 3,4 or 5 I got an error on the client "Server doesn't support this 
feature" or something like that...

0|LM- und NTLM-Anworten senden
1|LM- und NTLM-Antworten senden (NTLMv2-Sitzungssicherheit verwenden, 
wenn ausgehandelt)
2|Nur NTLM-Antworten senden
3|Nur NTLMv2-Antworten senden
4|Nur NTLMv2-Antworten senden\LM verweigern
5|Nur NTLMv2-Antworten senden\LM & NTLM verweigern

If I apply this patch it works, but then it doesn't work with the 
settings 0,1,2...

Does anyone knows how a windows server does this?

maybe a 'server NTLMv2' options is needed for this...
