Hi folks,

I run a small linux server at home for 2 win XP 32 bit and 1 win 7 64 bit clients. Since moving from an old Pentium 3 machine (centos 5, samba 32 bit) to a HP proliant microserver (Centos 6.3, samba 64 bit) the win XP clients can't logon - they get the message "the domain controller is unavailable". Win 7 machine has no problems.

I did everything I think I should, transferring SIDs and setting up users and machine accounts etc. If I start the samba server after the XP clients have logged on then they can access everything fine until they logoff and try to log n again.

Anything obvious I may have missed?

Thanks in advance for any help.
