[Samba] unable to get Windows XP to join domain using BDC

[Adam Williams]

I have a domain named ADAMSTEST with the LDAP/PDC being 
gomer.mdah.state.ms.us ip 10.8.3.37 and the BDC bldg2.mdah.state.ms.us 
ip 10.8.7.2.  nss_ldap is working, i can ssh in to both servers fine.  
I'm trying to have a Windows XP  named domain2 with ip 10.8.7.254 join 
the domain using the WINS server of 10.8.7.2 in the network tcp/ip 
settings.  So it should be able to join the domain by authenticating 
with the BDC, right?  But when I go to my computer properties, computer 
name, and put it in it in the domain ADAMSTEST, I get the error:

the following error occurred attempting to join the domain "ADAMSTEST":
the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

bldg2 is in the domain, net rpc join -U root%password succeeded, and net 
rpc info works, and so does net getdomainsid:

[root at bldg2 ~]# net rpc info
Password:
Domain Name: ADAMSTEST
Domain SID: S-1-5-21-2139886109-2393431639-217723040
Sequence number: 1202839145

Num local groups: 0
[root at bldg2 ~]# net getdomainsid
SID for domain BLDG2 is: S-1-5-21-2816586257-23495294-3091925226
SID for domain ADAMSTEST is: S-1-5-21-2139886109-2393431639-217723040

and domain2 has a machine account in ldap:

[root at gomer ~]# ldapsearch -D 
'cn=Manager,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us' -b 
"uid=domain2\$,ou=People,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us" -w

so why can't my XP computer join the domain using the BDC?
