Samba issue

[Sean Roe]

Hi All,

I am delurking to see if anybody has a clue about this:

I have a samba server acting as a pdc for my domain and all the
workstations except on log on fine and work like good little windows boxes
should.  I just built a new machine and joined it to the domain and that
all went smoothly, a user can log on to the domain no problem.  but after
they have logged in and are getting ready to start, an icon in the tray
comes up and says the fileserver (pdc) is offline even though it isn't.
This happens to all users who loginto the workstation except
'administrator'.  I have tried renaming the workstation, leaving the
domain and rejoining, deleteing the machine account. I am at my wits end.
The workstation maintains connectivity to the internet with no problem, so
I assume the networking is all good, but  I have no idea where to go from
here. BTW this is a debian 3.1 machine and samba is Version
3.0.14a-Debian.  The windows machine is XP SP2

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sean
