[Samba] can't access shared folder from windows machine

Our domain controller is samba on FreeBSD server. I administer internal Linux
server with samba installed on it too. When I share folder on my internal
server, it's visible and mountable by server itself, but can't be
accessed from windows machines in the same subnet. I get error: "Failed to
get configuration information from domain controller. It's not
accessible." May be that there's some kind of conflict between my samba
and FreeBSD' s samba? Here's my configuration file:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 10.100.1.101 (10.100.1.101)
# Date: 2005/07/27 12:16:22

# Global parameters
[global]
        domain master = no
	local master = no
	preferred master = no
	os level = 0
        workgroup = MEDIA
	server string = %h server (Samba %v)
	security = DOMAIN
	obey pam restrictions = Yes
	passdb backend = tdbsam, guest
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:*
%n\n .
	syslog = 0
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 1000
	dns proxy = No
	wins support = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
	invalid users = root
	include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No
	create mask = 0700
	directory mask = 0700
guest ok = no

[netbox]
comment = netbox on debian
	path = /home/netbox
	guest ok = yes
	read only = no
	browseable = yes

Thanks.
Alex.
