Very Computer

I am running samba 2.2.1a and have been for sometime. I am partially in
charge of a small network at my school which has 4 pcs and a Linux box
running samba as the pdc. Two of the machines run windows XP Prof, and the
other two run windows 2000. A month or so ago the ips of all of the
computers where switched to another set of ips(DHCP), I added the
appropriate entry in smb.conf to allow the new ip addresses to connect to
the server. It worked fine for a few weeks, but then all of the sudden it
stopped working. Now I can no longer connect to the domain from any of the
computers. I cant figure out what would have changed. I ran all of the
tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt and they all worked, but I still cant connect to the
domain, any ideas?

2.2.1a is pretty old, I'd probably suggest you update regardless of anything
else.

However, from the server can you ping the clients by name and by IP? What does
running a "smblcient -L \\<client>" do? Can the clients ping the server by
name?

Errors in the logs?

The server can ping the clients fine, and the clients can ping the server.
when I run smbclient -L bob (client) I get a message saying it added an
interface and then lists the following:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
SharedDocs Disk
ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin
C$ Disk Default share

Server Comment
--------- -------
BOB

Workgroup Master
--------- -------
RTL COBAIN
WORKGROUP BOB

Everything seems to be running fine, I just cannot get the client to join
the domain, in this case RTL. I can still connect to the server and map a
network drive, so samba is working. And there are no errors in the log from
what I can see.

Ok, did you follow the Samba-PDC-HowTo? Did you create machine accounts on the
samba server (both in /etc/passwd and /etc/smbpasswd, or wherever) for the
clients?

yes, I did everything. The machines have acounts, the users have acounts.
I can mount a drive using net use x: \\server\tmp I just cant join the
domain. But the thing is it worked last week, and I didnt change anything
over the weekend.
