This is very strange and frustrating. Our users complained that they
weren't able to get ANY Samba access, not even being able to map a
network drive
What that means? Not beeing able to find the server and browse the
network? Beeing able to find it and receiving access denied?
(forgetting for now about that domain logon thing for a while). So I
went into the /etc/samba/smb.conf and took out all of the statements
that had anything to do with domain controlling and net logons,
basically restoring the smb.conf to the state it was in before I
started messing around with all that domain controller stuff. To my
chagrin, now NOTHING works on Samba, even with my original smb.conf!
The only thing I'm doing differently now that I wasn't doing last week
is I'm now running Samba 3 instead of Samba 2. Should I uninstall
Samba 3 and put version 2 back on? This is too weird. Here's the
error message I'm getting in my samba log file whenever I try to map a
network drive on the Windows client:
[2006/07/07 17:24:18, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(183)
process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request
received for name WORKGROUP<00> from IP 128.253.175.150 on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET.

Error - should be sent to WINS server
Messing with name resolution in a running network can take some minutes
to stabilize, to machines make elections, to server annouce theirselves
to the network, to wrong entries expire in caches, etc. Sometimes you
must reload the network configuration on the clients to get the new
config, or change it manually.
In respect of the above error message, that I know (someone corrects me
if Im wrong) unicast packets with name registrations are only accepted
by WINS servers, to accept it without beeing a WINS server the packet
must be a broadcast packet. Probably samba is complaining about that (a
misconfiguration on how the clients are trying to register themselves).
So the name resolution in your network will probably fail completely.
It seems that your Client VENUS tries to register itself to the WINS
server it is configured to. Check what WINS server is configured
using "ipconfig /all" in a DOS prompt.
If your client's WINS server is configured to be a.b.c.d and your
domain PDC IP is a.b.c.d but the "wins server" parameter of smb.conf
is set to "no" then it would seem logical that the error is "Should
be sent to the WINS".
Please post your "ipconfig /all" output and your smb.conf file.
Here's the output from the ipconfig /all:

Here's the /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
socket address = 128.253.175.155
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
invalid users = bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news uucp

log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 2
max log size = 50
debug timestamp = yes
[homes]

read only = no
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
I'm completely mystified as to why I keep getting these "Error -
should be sent to WINS server" messages. If anyone has any
suggestions I'd love to hear them. At this point it looks to me that
Samba has somehow become broken beyond repair.

Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown?
I never saw that one, I dont have sure if it can have that value and
work properly, this value says what is the order and inclusion (with its
own nomenclature) of netbios name resolution (broadcast or WINS (a
unicast packet, remember?)), searching the MS KBs I found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310570
Try unsing "nbtstat -a yourserver" on the command line of the windows
machine to see if it can list the table of names of the server (and see
if netbios and name resolution is working).
Probably your client (or a lot of them) is making some confusion and
isnt registering itself properly to the network.
