Thanks for you reply dkrnic... Anyway... I found the problem. (but NO SOLUTION!!)
Just to summarize... I had a win2k sp2 machine at home and win2k sp4 machines on my work. I was unable to login my samba-pdc (v3 rc2) with the workstations @ work, but I was able to connect from my win2k sp2 machine at home through a VPN connection. I now took that machine (w2k sp2 -machine from home) to my office to test if it would also work on the network instead of a vpn connection. and... it didn't, it gave the same error as the other machines. In tcpdump I saw the DNS query from _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.<MYDOMAIN>. This annoyed me, because my workstation from home on VPN didn't do this. Then I came up with the plan to disable my DNS-server in my network-settings on my w2k-machines. Then I tried to log on to the domain and.... voila... it worked. When I enable the DNS-server again in my configuration I can't login to the domain anymore. I read some things about Native and Mixed -mode w2k's. I believe this is the whole problem. W2k's are in Native mode looking for Active Directory and Samba obviously... not... since it can't. Anybody knows how I can change this behaviour of w2k towards my PDC? Thanks!

I'm not so sure. Don't blame M$ too soon. Your use of LDAP or how you use it may be the problem. > Since this Services Pack, Windows 2000 looks for an > active directory.

Do other posters complain about PDC+LDAP+W2K-SP3-4? You can't be the 1st one with the problem. I don't use LDAP. SPs never affected my clients, 2, 3, 4. > The only way I know how to solve it now is to > reinstall all my workstations with a clean win2k > install and stop upgrading till service pack 2, but > ofcourse I do not really prefer this... Better analyze the login transactions for both SPs in a higher level log to be a bit more sure what is going on. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
