samba - Apr 2004 - login to samba3 PDC and problem with novell netware client

Hi,

I have actual installation Debian Sarge (testing) with Samba 3.0.2a. 
There is Windows XP SP1 on workstations.
I use Novell client 4.83 SP2 or 4.9 SP1 for Novell Netware connections.

I try to run Samba as PDC. Everything is fine without Novell client.
After Novell Client installation, I could not logon to samba domain.
Client gives me message "Domain controller could not be found for specified
domain",
but I am sure that client found domain controller. When I type bad domain user
or
password, it gives me message about bad username or password. And when I logon
to
workstation, I can see and logon to samba server (at network neighbourhood). 

There is no name collision between novell server names and samba netbios names.
I
tried it with novell client on IPX/SPX or on TPC/IP protocol. Everything is bad.

Please, don't you have any idea? Is there any hope how to use novell client
and domain
logon to samba3 PDC both? I mean something like simple registry record or patch
or
something.

Thanks

Martin Swiech

PS: I can send smb.conf or log file If you want it for some analyze.

We have run this environment with NW-Client 4.83 and Netware 4.11 with 
no problems.
Have you checked that TCP/IP and IPX/SPX are running?

Try this: Logon on with NW and a local Win-User, ping the Samba-Server 
and connect to it. Does this work?

Yes, when I logon to NW and local win user, I can ping to samba 
server and connect/use to it's services.

I thing, that IPX/SPX and TCP/IP protocols works fine.

We have novell netware 5.1 servers. But I think, that doesn't matter.

That is what I am planning. But now there is "migration time".
It's over my potencial to migrate from novell netware to linux and 
samba over one night. I want to use novell netware and linux+samba 
both for some time. After full migration I flush novell client to trash.

If I could not resolve this problem, I think I have two possibilities:
1, Very good plan how to migrate => Very quick migration.
2, Using netware client from MS windows (not original novell client, but 
poor ms netware client) for "migration time".
