Some more research. Removing the firewall doesnt change anything, so i 
dont think the firewall is causing my problem. I re-checked the windows 
server, and saw its a SP3 box, my lab-Server had sp4. I'll check again 
with an sp3 lab-server.

But so far, i'm still stuck with the following error:

root# net rpc join -U administrator -w DOMAIN -S WINDOWS-DC

   Error domain join verification (reused connection): 
STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW

Unable to join domain DOMAIN.


Joining with "net ads join..." works, but then wbinfo fails again.
