Well something has changed as I seem to be getting through;

[root@proxima ~]# smbclient -L polaris
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_CANT_ACCESS_DOMAIN_INFO

This looks like the samba server isn't communicting with the PDC. 
so then;

>net rpc join mydomain -U administrator%password
Joined domain SPL.
>[root@proxima ~]# smbclient -L polaris
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

A better error. The windows client can finally see it.

Thanx Jens & Scott. I guess I'll have to rtfm to configure the 
iptables or turn them off.
