The is caused by the client not being able to resolve 
the DOMAIN<1b> netbios name.  If the server and client are 
on the same subnet, you should not get this error message
(although I can think of circumstances where you would).
If the two are on different subnets, then you will need 
to use either a WINS server or local LMHOSTS files to 
help the client resolve the name.

Only for domain logons from Windows NT clients

Have you read the NT Domain FAQ?  It's linked off any of 
the Samba mirrors under the documentation page.  That should 
help.
