Hmm, the netmasks on each of the machines match. The NT machine is using a
statically assigned IP address and netmask. I havn't set any other settings.

I ran the smbpasswd -a -m BUG command which inserted a similar line in
private/smbpasswd. The 0080 field had changed to [W], and the userid was
improbably large (I tried substituting another valid uid).

As far as I can tell, the basic IP connectivity is OK. I can't join the
domain, however.

Does anyone have a lvl 20 log from a sucessfull domain connection the could
send me for comparison, as I'm not sure what my logs are telling me...

thanks
