[Samba] PDC Problems...

Hi all,

I've looked through the archives and I can't seem to find a solution, so
here's my problem.

I have three Win2k clients and one Samba server which I set up as a PDC
(or at least I thought so.)

The domain is "THEMOLE" yet when I try to join the domain from the
clients it says;

"The following error occured validaing the name "THEMOLE"

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."

I've included my smb.conf below and was just wondering if I've done
something stupidly wrong?

Thanks in advance.
