Exactly right. My "netbios name =" value reflects a different hostname
than the actual server. I didn't realize there was any problem with that...

Anyway, once I changed the "netbios name" entry to "netbios aliases = ",
"net join" works first time.

I'd still say that was a bug in Samba - but the workaround will do for
now :-)

Thanks!
