samba - Jan 2005 - WinXP pro client and Samba 2.2.3 PDC?

Hi everyone,

sorry if this is already written somewhere:
Is it at all possible to connect a Windows XP (professional ed.) 
client to a Samba server running 2.2.3?

I got this far:
After logging into the client locally I can mount the server shares by hand,
but the domain logon fails, saying 'The domain controller is not
'availabe' (or similar, this is translated from the german error
message)

Thanks, Martin

Yes, but you will need to disable all signing. Windows XP has signing enabled 
by default and Samba-2.2.3 does not support that. Besides, Samba-2.2.3 is 
VERY old and there have been many security updates since it. The 2.x series 
is no longer supported. The currently supported version is 3.0.x, with the 
release of 3.0.11 due any time soon.
