[Samba] Error connecting WinXP client to Samba PDC: DNS name does not exist / RCODE_NAME_ERROR

[Christian Geiger]

OK - using wireshark I further investigated into it. The name resolution 
probably isn't the problem as the client sends a netlogon request to the 
domain controller:

[code]
6	7.496115	192.168.182.187	192.168.182.3	SMB_NETLOGON	SAM LOGON request 
from client
[/code]

However, no reply seems to be sent back to the client by the samba 
server according to the wireshark protocol. This is what nmbd logs at 
the same time (debug level 3):
