I have seen this error and this seems to be a general networking error -
in my case, it was a bad wire from one switch to another switch and the
problem would temporarily disappear when I reset the switches (hubs) but
it would come back.

Just to make certain do these things...

1 - power cycle all the involved hubs/switches
2 - check all the link lights
3 - turn up log levels on both openldap and samba temporarily to log
everything (i.e. level 256 on openldap and 10 on samba)
4 - make sure that firewall on both Linux machine and Windows machine
are off
5 - make sure that you haven't attached to any resource on the PDC from
the winXP Pro machine since the last restart of the WinXP Pro computer
(i.e. to be certain, restart the machine and then immediately try to
join)
