Hi, I have Samba running on FreeBSD as the PDC. I have added an XP PC to the domain successfully but on trying to log onto windows using a domain account, I get the following error: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later" Any help on how to solve this? Thanks, Eric

What i forgot to say is that there are 5 other XP pcs on the same domain and they are not experiencing such problems. Additional info about the problem is: 1. When i log onto the pc using a local pc account(such as administrator),I can browse the PDC and even mount one of its shares as a network drive. 2. THere is nothing weird in the logs on the PDC Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. THe problem has been solved. It was something to do with the Microsoft Management Console Local Security Settings on the client.
