[Samba] Win XP logon issues

when trying to log on to my samba server (3.0a24 with LDAP)  I get a 
message about the domain not being available or the machine account is 
not available.  In the event log this is what the Netlogon service 
reports about the error.

---
The domain of this computer, MEANSPC has been downgraded from Windows 
2000 or newer to Windows NT4 or older. The computer cannot function 
properly in this case for authentication purposes. This computer needs 
to rejoin the domain. The following error occurred:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon 
request.
---

Is this a issue with my Win XP Pro box or the samba server.  I have 
broken the machine from the domain and rejoined it several times trying 
to fix this issue to no avail.  I have applied the registry patch for 
win xp and am now at a loss as to what to try next.
