samba - Mar 2009 - problem when PDC machine name equals domain name

Hi there,
I am trying to learn samba, ldap and co.

now I installed a test  net consisting from three computers

haydn: this is the pdc with haydn.redcor.home (ip 10.168.1.102)
memphis: tis is a windows box -> memhis.redcor.home (ip 10.168.1.103)
chrissy: this is a unix box -> chrissy.redcor.home (ip 10.168.1.100)

dns server, ldap-server and samba are all running on haydn.

on haydn samba is running as pdc with a domain name HAYDN.

I could add memphis to the domain. but when I boot windows I get an err
"this
name is alredy used in the network" (or some such, it is in german).

in the windows error log I find an error 4321 stating that the name 'HAYDN 
':0
could not be registered with  ip 10.168.1.102. ip 10.168.1.103 vetoed the use of
this name.


my real problem is: I could join the domain, but when I want to log into the
domain, I get an error stating  that domain haydn could not be found.

is it not possible, that a machine name and a the domain name are the same?

thanks for your help

I would not recommend using the same name for the PDC and the domain on a
Windows or Samba network.
