Hi, I had success to join a samba domain with a win2K Station a few days ago. But today when a try to log with an another account, my station win2K say me she can't contact my PDC. I does not know what occurred since the last time. I disjoin my domain and after i has try to join again but with no success. The client Win2K and serveur PDC samba are on same network and switch thus no problem of network. The samba server starts and his logs says to me that is the PDC of my domain, but Win2K does no want to see it. somebody has an idea ?
