[Samba] WinXP vs Samba: domain controller could not be contacted

Hi,
when I try to connect with a Windows XP Professional workstation to my domain
(My Computer->Computer Name ...), I keep getting the error message "A domain
controller for the domain ... could not be contacted". This attempt leaves no
traces in the samba logs.
I have applied the recommended WinXP registry tweaks. I am pretty shure that I
have typed the domain name right. nmdb is running on the samba server.
Strange enough, I can connect to the samba server if I enter its IP directly in
Start->Run. Reversely, I can also connect from the samba server to the XP
machine with smbclient.
I guess this a problem with netbios/wins, but I am out of ideas. What could it
be? I have found the same question lots of times on google, but never any
solutions. Help please!
Martin
