I'm trying to join a computer to a samba domain and I get the error:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "MIDDLEEARTH":
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Other computers are connected to and using this domain. This computer is
replace an other workstation that has be decommissioned.
I ran a packet capture:

Looking at the packet data it looks like the LOGON request is getting
the OK.
I turned on debug logging and got this:
process_name_query_request: Name query from 10.3.1.41 on subnet
10.3.1.245 for name MIDDLEEARTH<1b>
process_name_query_request: Name query from 10.3.1.41 on subnet

This is my global samba config(minus ldap stuff)
workgroup = MIDDLEEARTH
netbios name = KENT_FILESERVER
server string = Kent BDC
name resolve order = wins bcast hosts
printcap name = cups
logon script = scripts/logon.bat
logon path = \\kent_fileserver\profiles\%U
logon drive = G:
logon home = \\kent_fileserver\homes\%U
domain logons = Yes
os level = 33
preferred master = Yes
domain master = No
log level = 3
local master = yes
perferred master = yes
wins support = yes
I don't know what else to look for.
