Can't Join Computers to Domain

[iswope]

I installed the latest eBox on top of a clean 8.04 install with nothing installed.  I was able to setup dhcp, a domain and add users and groups.  Everything seems fine with one exception. I cannot add user's machines to the domain. 

What happens is that when I go to add a WinXP Pro computer to the domain it first says that "Windows cannot find an account for your computer on the SMARTBLAST domain".

So I add the computer name and computer domain and then it prompts me for the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain.  So I add in the credentials of a user I set as the administrator.

And then I get an error message that says "The user name could not be found".

I really, really, really need to get this up and running as I've got users standing around who can't login.  Any help would be much appreciated

What do your log files say?  This needs more info.  Detail your network configuration and and computer/domain  names.

First,

See if you can see the Domain properly

SSH  in the server (SMARTBLAST) and run

root#  smbclient -L YOURSERVER -U%

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.0.28a)
        netlogon     Disk      Network Logon Service
        ADMIN$      IPC       IPC Service (Samba 3.0.28a)

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        YOURSERVER     Samba 3.0.28a

        Workgroup         Master
        ---------            -------
        SMARTBLAST     YOURSERVER


Now, Make sure you can browse a users home share, check your logs.

smbclient //YOURSERVER/joeblow -Ujoeblow%password

I had the same issue and have found a workaround.

The problem is that NetBios is not working properly for some reason.
If I use another DHCP with "wins" setting, everything works just fine. Also when I enter the "wins" setting manualy in the TCP/IP setting pointing to ebox, it works as well.

This might have something to do with the unusual usage of ebox. It is not a gateway, but it is a DHCP server for 192.168.0.0/28 with IP 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.1 being the gataway.

The instalation was made with 0.11.101 installer, manually upgraded to latest ebox repostory version (at the time of writing).
