[Samba] Problem joining a Samba 3 domain - DC can't be contac ted

[fatima riadi]

My domain name is SAMBA-DOMAIN, I can't join it from a
win 2003 machine. Now, if I try to join it from a XP
machine, I am asked to enter a username and password
for a user allowed to join the domain, however, the
info I enter is not accepted!!!

Any idea please?

Thank you

Note: to manage joining my samba domain from a xp
machine, I had to change a registry key.
