You can't ping winbind, because it fails to connect to the PDC.
- did you put the correct name for the PDC in smb.conf?
    password server = <MyPDC>
- can you ping the PDC from the Linux with the name as configured in smb.conf?
    ping MyPDC
- from your log it appears the SCIENCEU.ORG is your PDC, are you sure this is a
PDC, i.e. not an ordinary NT/Win2000 box?
