To analyze the problem, first put the entry for PDC1 into both LMHOSTS and
hosts files and try: net use \\pdc1.

If you still meet the 67 error, something other than name resolution will cause
this problem. Look at the Samba log and network capture.

NetBIOS name whose prefix is only #20 ,#00 (and #1C in some case) can
be resolved
by DNS.
