I noticed that its been, probably years, that my machine is no longer actually part of my domain. The trust account probably expired, and I'm guessing with a samba domain, it has to be readded manually to refresh it. So I removed the PC from the domain, but now I can't readd it. I get this error:
a domain controller for the domain galaxy could not be contacted. [...]
Then more info:

I have a feeling its a DNS issue as I did do some DNS changes a while back. So how would I go about fixing this? Tried putting galaxy, as well as galaxy.loc (which resolves to the DCs ip through DNS) no luck.
This is dxdiag.txt

I have TONS of these in my event logs. I really wish I had not pulled the PC off the domain... now I'm stuck rebuilding my profile until I fix this problem ACK.
