[Samba] Unable to Join Domain

[Greg Koch]

Well, the good news is that I was able to install version 3.0.32-36, but
now I seem to have some sort of name resolution error because I can't
access the server at all!  When I navigate either to \\server or \\IP it
doesn't seem to make a connection, much less allow me to join the domain! 
AH!  I will see what I can work out.  Thanks for your help thus far!
