=46rom you description of the problem it's looks like that win2k box can't
make resolving of names to ip address. That's why I accent to firewall
because according to you logs ipfw block port 137, which is used to=20
resolve NetBIOS names to IP address. I make a little test and block port
137 on my PDC (Samba 2.2.4 on NetBSD) and results are the same as yours.
If that is true (blocking of netbios-ns port) you PDC can't register
as domain controler, and workstations when is joined to domain can't find
who is PDC for this domain.
What are you firewall rules?
What's show "nbtstat -A YOU_SAMBA_SERVER" and "nbtstat -c" on win2k box?
