Hi, when I try to connect with a Windows XP Professional workstation to my domain (My Computer->Computer Name ...), I keep getting the error message "A domain controller for the domain ... could not be contacted". This attempt leaves no traces in the samba logs.
I have applied the recommended WinXP registry tweaks. I am pretty shure that I have typed the domain name right. nmdb is running on the samba server.Strange enough, I can connect to the samba server if I enter its IP directly in I have add the samba server's IP address to the wins entry in the network configuration and reboot afterwards. I also switched on "enable netbios over TCP/IP".
My smb.conf look like:
