HI Daniel!

I resolved a problem similar with this methods: I'd create the Machine accounts with the E-box interface like a normal user account. In the windows machine I have choosed the join domain wizard, and all the machine with the user joined the NT4 Samba PDC regulary.

I had this problem many times, not only using linux/samba but also in pure windows environment. Are you sure that dns server work correctly?
However the last time i have meet this problem, was when another samba machine in the lan had the same hostname of the domain...
To resolve these type of issue, usually i inspect the log of the server but also of the client machine (system events of windows xp).

If you change the network configuration in samba, you may have problems joining. This is a samba thing, not a ebox thing..  Here's the fix.

/etc/init.d/samba stop
rm /var/cache/samba/browse.dat
rm /var/lib/samba/wins.dat
/etc/init.d/samba start
