I think we need to see more of that log, particularly the lines above 
'STATUS'

Where did you get that idea from ?

A DC should have a fixed IP and that is what Samba should use.

Do you have more than one ethernet device ?

What OS is this ?

What version of Samba ?

Can you post the contents of the following files:

/etc/resolv.conf

/etc/hostname

/etc/hosts

/etc/samba/smb.conf (or wherever smb.conf is on your DC)
