[Samba] Samba as a PDC for W2K Network

Hi all. I hope someone here can help me with a bit of trouble I seem to be
having with Samba and Windows 2000. Here's the deal:
We are attempting to setup a Red Hat 7.3 machine (SYMPHONY2) running Samba
2.2.3a to act as a File Server and PDC for a number of Windows 2000
workstations. I have followed the instructions from
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html but
unfortunetly, that is not working. I've attached my smb.conf file at the
end of this email but I'll go through the rest of the stuff now. We setup
our Samba machine temporarily on a seperate network, INAVNET2 and that is
what we are trying to connect to.
From a Windows 2000 workstation (CORP), I try to change the Network
Properties to join INAVNET2. I recieve the message "The domain does not
exist". However, from that same machine I can browse with Network
Neighborhood and see the INAVNET2 domain. I can even get into the machine
and browse a few of the directories. Also, a 'net view /domain:INAVNET2'
points me right to the Samba machine.
I have setup a Machine Trust Account with the following commands with no
success:
/usr/sbin/useradd -g 100 -d /dev/null -c "corp" -s /bin/false corp$
passwd -l corp$
smbpasswd -a -m corp$
I'm a little befuddled. Any advice or something I may have missed in my
smb.conf file? Thanks a bundle in advance.
