Hi folks, I've latetly searching for a solution of a problem of mine when I suddenly stuck on this msg.
In fact, I've just got the same problem with WinXP on a Samba 2.2.3 server. I've followed the same procedure Fernando did but, unfortunately, got a message concerning a RPC failure. My Windows is in Portuguese and I've got no idea of what should it be in english, but I supose it's something like "Remote Procedure Failure". If somebody's got any other idea of what could this problem be, please drop me a reply. Thank you inadvance.

Make sure that your smb.conf file contains "domain logons = yes" 2. Is a good practice create a group only for computer accounts using: group -g 201 machines 3. Add the machine account to you /etc/passwd using the following command: useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -c "machine id" machine_name\$ Don't forgot the "\$"! Otherwise, Samba will not recognize the account. 4. Lock the password to the machine account using: passwd -l machine_name$ 5. Add the machine account to your smbpasswd file using the command: smbpasswd -a -m machine_name Without "\$"!!! 6. Apply the registry patch in your XP machine. Using regedit, make sure to patch all the control sets. The .reg file only patch "Current Control Set", may be there are 2 or 3 Control Sets more. You have to parch all of them manually. 7. Using the Network Identification Wizard, try to jouin your XP machine to the Samba domain. You have to do this proccess using an username with admin rights in your Linux machine (like root for example). Otherwise, it will not work. And... if all is ok... Voila! Machine added! :) Hope this help. I send my smb.conf file, is working well with all my XP clients. Good Luck!
