OK, I was more concerned about the actual 'network error' as shown in my original post...


"communications error to 130.130.0.219#53: timed out"


... I have tried a few different times and get the same error each time.  This error is NOT shown when I test on the other running DCs.  This is what I worried about and need advice on whether to risk a join or not?!  Could it be to do with the different IP address range?

Details for you:-

'DC3' = Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, Samba Version 4.7.6-Ubuntu, 130.130.0.218/16
'DC4' = Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS, Samba Version 4.7.6-Ubuntu, 130.130.0.218/16
'DC5' = Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, Samba Version 4.15.13-Ubuntu, 130.130.251.5/16

Thanks,
