It is probably as Andrew has said, but I would make a few changes to
the clients smb.conf:
Remove the  'password server' line, you should allow the client to find
the DC via DNS
Remove the 'socket options' line, this really isn't required now.
Remove the 'winbind enum' lines, you definitely don't need these.
