Getting Closer

I've got to the point where my Windows Machines can ping the Netbios name 
of my Linux Box.

But I still can't join the NT domain or mount a share (my ultimate goal) 
from that domain.

I've added a machine account on the NT PDC.

Whenever I use SMBPASSWD -j DOMAIN -r PDC it tells me it can't resolve 
PDC... I've even tried adding the -R bcast option to (if I understand it 
correctly) force it to use broadcast for name resolution.

I've changed from DHCP to a Static IP with no avail and I can browse the 
Internet and our Intranet.

When I try using SMBPASSWD -j DOMAIN -r 10.1.1.1 it gives me an error 131 
and says that 10.1.1.1 rejected the session...

I've checked the web... I've read the docs (DOMAIN_MEMBER.HTML) and the 
SMBPASSWD man pages and I'm at a loss... I can't find the Diagnosis.txt 
anywhere in the samba doc folder.

If it makes a difference I'm running Samba

BUT and here's the weird thing... I downloaded the GNOMBA package... and 
using that I can manage to map a share that's on  my PDC. (after I do this 
I'm still grayed out in the PDC's server manager)

Any thoughts?
