Samba: Intermittant Logon Failure

More Info:

The error I get on the XP laptops when trying to connect to the samba
server is:

Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain
controller is down or otherwise unavailable.....

The thing of it is that it will work sometimes (especially after I
change to a slightly different smb.conf and restart the smbd), then
when I log off and try again, without changing anything, it will fail
with the above error....Any ideas??

You need to disable couple of services on XP if you are using samba with xp.
I m not sure which services...plz google..
