[Samba] Unable to connect to shares - Error about 'Domain
Controller'

Fellow samba dancers,
Before I lose it, and teach our server to fly, I think it best if I ask the experts.
THE SETUP: FreeBSD 7.0-Release, i386 platform (Proliant ML530 to be exact), Samba version 3.0.31,1. Windows domain based on Windows 2000 Advanced Server, with mixed NT-style and Active Directory style security. Domain name is FREEDOM_RIDGE, two active-directory domain controllers called haku and chihiro (bonus points if you get the movie reference). ;-)
WHAT I'VE DONE: testparm says the config file is fine, and I -think- I've managed to join our existing domain (there was no error from the 'net join' NT4-style command -- quite the contrary. It confirmed that the domain was joined). Shares are established, dump of config file available on request.
I've also used pdbedit -a -u (insert username here) to add myself into the tdbsam database, and that seemed to work OK.
THE PROBLEM: I can't connect to any shares, and I keep seeing samba core-dump errors in /var/log/samba/log.smbd.
When I try connecting to a share from one of our Windows 2000 pro systems, it sits for about 30 seconds, and then I get an error box which says (among other things) that it could not read configuration information from the domain controller.
Even more worrisome is this stuff from log.smbd. I get it every time I try to access a share.

Any thoughts? Granted that I would, at some point, like to implement full active-directory membership, the thought of diving into Windows-side Kerberos is not attractive at this time.
Thanks.
