OK, sounds like I am in about the same boat as you are, I just got my first Win2K client joined to my first Samba 3.0.4 PDC and logged in.
[global] workgroup = lds-smb netbios name = LDSTST01 server string = %h server (Samba %v) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d invalid users = root passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
########## NT Domain Related ########## admin users = pianoman security = user encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = smbpasswd domain logons = true time server = true add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
########## NT Domain Related - Master Browser ########## browse list = true domain master = true local master = true os level = 33 preferred master = true
######## File sharing ######## socket options = TCP_NODELAY

Specifically check out the 'admin users' list which is required for the account you wish to put into the join domain dialog on the Win2K side.
Also, workgroup needs to be a valid SMB name, not your internet domain name... drop the .com.
I highly suggest a copy of Rod Smith's "The Definitive Guide to Samba 3" which I got a couple of days ago, read Chapters 1-4, 7, 10, then back to 8 a bit, and thus got this PDC up with little pain. Also delete your logs now and then and see what NEW data you get in them.
