Hi,
Rather than setting up lmhosts on every client (and then having to
maintain it on every client) I would suggest setting up WINS or DNS to
resolve everything.

The problem is caused by the client not having the address of the

On a windows client, you need to populate
%SYSTEM_ROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts
use UPPERCASE names regardless of what the MS docs say.

Dear Help,
Here is my situation:
We have offices located in several areas around the country, all of which can
communicate with each other through VPNs we have established. I have set up a
Samba domain in which the PDC is located here in our home office, and there are
BDCs for the same domain in each of the remote offices.
I have been able to successfully join machines here in our home office to the
domain through Windows, but am not having any luck when I try to join the domain
at one of the remote locations. When I go through the manual process of joining
the domain on a Windows XP machine, I get a password prompt for the domain user
that can add the machine (so I know it's at least finding the BDC)... but then
after I type in the username and password, I get the following error:
"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "ourdomain": The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."
I've searched Google for this error and have not found anything useful. I've
gone back through the Samba-HowTo on BDC configuration and have not yet found
anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Matt
Here are my configuration files. (Oh, and for whatever reason, even with a log
level of 5, whenever I attempt to join the machine to the domain, no log entry
is created).
For the PDC:
