Samba 2.2.1a PDC and Win XP

[Steven Westbrook]

I'm seeing exactly the same problem with a Samba 2.2.2 that previously 
worked great with Windows 2000.  

The exact error that I'm getting is: "Windows cannot connect to the 
domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise 
unavailable, or because our computer account was not found."  However, 
once I do log on using a local windows account, I can browse the network 
neighborhood and see the samba server as usual and view the shares after 
it asks me for a valid domain password and account.  I also can have the 
windows XP machine join the domain, but when I log off and try to log back 
on to the domain, I still get the error.  Reboots cause the same problem.  
Anyone have any ideas?  I have recompiled the source from scratch just to 
make sure that wasn't a problem.....


thanks,

steve
