Domain unavailable / server not setup for transactions

[Stuart Fraser]

I have tried numerous times to get PDC working but with the same problem 
occuring over and over.  I use the smb.conf below with Samba2.2.1a and 
Mandrake8.0.  My client is Win XP with passwd encryption on and the 
suggested "domain member: signature.... (always)" option disabled.

I can join my client machine to the domain fine but when I try to logon I am 
told my domain is unavailable.  So I logon to the local machine and try and 
browse "Computers near me" and I get the message "UQI [Domain] is not 
accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. 
Contact the .....  The server is not configured for transactions"

I can't even see my parents machine which is on the same lan.  I didn't have 
any of the browse issues with Samba 2.0 no PDC setup.  I could see all 
server shares and other machines attached to the lan.

I have scoured all the docs and almost all the mails and haven't found a 
solution yet, anyone who has this problem and had a fix HELP ME please.
