Hi. I'm trying to add a client running Windows XP Professional SP2 to a PDC server running Samba 3.0.13 over a VPN tunnel made with PPTP. The VPN tunnel works without problem, and I can see the shared resources on the PDC from the client searching the server with its hostname (I can access to \\server). When I try to add the client to the PDC, Windows XP ask me for the root user, but after some seconds I get an "invalid username or password" error. The strange thing is that the username and password are correct (I checked them a lot of times) and the server doesn't write anything in the client's log even if I configured the log level as 3 in the smb.conf. The server os level is 255, and the PDC works without any problem in the LAN. Someone could have some ideas about how to solve this problem? I tried and tried but I didn't managed in solving it... :-( Thank you very much! Bye.

There have been two new fixes for Poptop of late to fix packet ordering bugs that cause some very strange behaviour. Perhaps this is an example? Otherwise try lowering the MTU on the PPP link. If that still doesn't work, you need to look at the traffic flowing over the link with a packet sniffer and see where things break down. It's unlikely to be a problem with the PDC based on your assertion that it works fine on the LAN. I'd suggest that maybe you might get more help from the Poptop users group?
