samba - Apr 2004 - Problem : Samba 3.0.2a as PDC with Win2000 Pro

Hi, all....

Honestly I'm a newbie in Linux. For a couple days,
I've been trying to build my own PDC server.
I've got enough manual resource for guidance, but
somehow, untill now I can't log my Win2000 Profesional
into the PDC server. 
I'm using Debian sid kernel 2.6.5, Samba 3.0.2a and a
Win2000 box as client. I think there's nothing wrong
with my smb.conf ( I guess... ;-P).
I have already add a machine account for win2000 box
with $ appended.
But everytime I tried to configure domain setting in
win200 client it said that the server probably doesn't
have that win2000 mechine account, and if I proceed it
will ended up saying the PDC server doesn't exist.
I'm sorry for this maybe sounds silly...


thanks

--welly---

Yup!...absolutely...I can ping either with IP address
or hostname
c:\ping pdc
reply from 172.16....bla bla bla..
Anyway, my "supposed to be" PDC server is visible in
its workgroup ( the IT2000, if you took a look at my
smb.conf ). And I can log into it. It's just like a
common use of samba.
My debian box seems not to be a PDC but just an
ordinary linux PC with some couple shared
directories.. : -(

What I meant by can't configure the win2000 client is
:
I can't add it into the domain.It's the only win-based
computer I've got. I ain't got any XP nor 98, so I
haven't tried in another win environtment.
So the "actually" problem is, I can't join that
win2000 box into my "supposed to be" PDC server.
Win box said that maybe he doesn't have an account in
the domain ( a machine account ), and when he asked me
again to correct the domain name, he said there's no
domain named PDC ( my "supposed to be" domain name )
After fresh install and configuring samba ( as PDC...I
wish ), I tried to make this win2000 box as a client.
But...................:-(
