[Samba] cross-subnet domain join issue

[Sean Kellogg]

Okay, I'm clearly not as smart as I'd hoped, as I failed to have my
Samba PDC connect to our WINS server.  Adding the server IP has changed
things, but I'm still experiencing difficulties.

Here's my nmdb log from startup....  there's some strange stuff in here.

Some googling tells me that its okay that it might be okay for the IP to
be listed as 0.0.0.0...  but I'm not so sure.  Can anyone confirm?

In addition, any theories as to what exactly Error 0 might be...  what
about Error 6?

Thanks,
Sean
