I am not using Samba 3.x. I am using Samba3x-3.3.8. As I understand it, RHEL provided this branch so that Windows 7 could join a Samba domain.

That aside, It does not seems to me that the error message indicates that it cannot resolve where the PDC is. What method is Windows 7 trying to use that is differnent for Windows XP to find the PDC?

DNS & AD are not at issue here. Samba 3 cannot provide AD services.

If resolution is a problem, it may be that you don't have nmb running on your Samba server and you probably want it to be a wins server if it is a Domain Controller.
