samba - Oct 2001 - Samba 2.2.1a PDC and Win XP

Hi,

Does enybody already added a WinXP Client to a 2.2.1a PDC server ?
I tied it, the machine account is createt, and it say "wellcome to the 
domain...." but if i know try to log on to the domain, it says the PDC 
couldn't  be found.
The stupid thing.... It dosen't "say" anything to the Server it
just promts
the error message.

With Win2k it works fine....

thx
Marco

I'm seeing exactly the same problem with a Samba 2.2.2 that previously 
worked great with Windows 2000.  

The exact error that I'm getting is: "Windows cannot connect to the 
domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise 
unavailable, or because our computer account was not found."  However, 
once I do log on using a local windows account, I can browse the network 
neighborhood and see the samba server as usual and view the shares after 
it asks me for a valid domain password and account.  I also can have the 
windows XP machine join the domain, but when I log off and try to log back 
on to the domain, I still get the error.  Reboots cause the same problem.  
Anyone have any ideas?  I have recompiled the source from scratch just to 
make sure that wasn't a problem.....


thanks,

steve
