Samba is trying to use hostname instead of username

The NT sysadmin has changed the setting from domain GYMNASIUM to workgroup HERCULES. (with a radiobutton). There is a PDC in the network named EDUSERVER.
This is my globals section:
[global]
workgroup = HERCULES
networkstation user logon = yes
server string = Hydra CGU server
hosts allow = 10. 127.
guest account = ll
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 500
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = yes
os level = 33
debug level = 10
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\%L\%U\.profile
name resolve order = host
dns proxy = no
Maybe the PDC doesn't know anything of the workgroup... Should I enable some remote announce settings?
