Prealpha 0.3/W2K problem joining domain...

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

do a net use from cmd.exe

if there is a preexisting connection to, say \\samba-server\ipc$, or any
other shares, then delete them:

net use \\sambaserver\ipc$ /del

close any "Explorer" windows opened on the samba server too.

you alredy have a connection open, you see, and this is a *standard*,
non-samba-related procedure that you have to follow, even if you are
joining to an NT PDC.
