I think no.

Do you try to setup the machine account manually on the samba pdc?

Does the local connection funtion properly? Make it running first. Than you
are sure, that all other problems must be client and/or network problems.


What happend, if you try to "browse" via smbclient from samba server
commandline to your samba service?

smbclient -L samabservername -U adminusername -W domainname

With
smbclient  //samabservername/sharename -U adminusername -W domainname

you are logon and get another commandline ontop of samba in the named share.

What happend? Any error messages? Which?
