samba - May 2010 - Join domain broken after update

Hi all,
      I have a samba server that is the DC on our network.  It was a
debian etch machine with everything installed from the distro
packages.  Everything was fine until I upgraded from Etch to Lenny. 
In an effort to get windows 7 to join my domain I upgraded to Lenny
which gave me samba 3.2.5 I was still unable to join the domain with
Win7 so I downgraded the workstation to XPP.  I was shocked to find
that I now cannot join the domain with XPP (was working before).  I
came in after hours when the network is quiet and did a tail -f on
every log file I can find (log.smbd log.nmbd auth.log and any other
active log file) while attempting to join the domain and get no
activity in the log files!!  I tried turning up the log level in
samba and still don't see any entries attributable to my attempt to
join the domain.

The error I get on the WS is: The specified domain either does not exist
or could not be contacted.  This is the error whether I use the
Administrator login or just type some garbage.

Keep in mind this was working before the upgrade.

If you can suggest where to look next that would be helpful

nmblookup yourdomain#1c

is nmbd running?

I think we tried it with the FW off (on the WS), I will try it again 
today.  There is no FW on the server

You might also try running wireshark/tcpdump/windump on the client and
server while trying to join the domain to see what the client is
doing.
