I know this has been asked a million times but I read all the posts and none answer my issue so I hope someone will know a fix. I have fc9 with samba as PDC connecting to FDS. Followed the how-to to the letter but can not get my windows machine to connect to the domain. My domain is : ldap Windows machine is in random workgroup not associated with samba at all. When I try to add to domain using root and pass (yes, it is setup on samba server), I get the following: "The following error occured attempting to join the domain "ldap": A device attached to the system is not functioning. in /var/log/samba/samba.log: *[2008/06/23 13:53:44, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr_internal(1597) getpeername failed.
