Windows 7 users can't connect to samba server after dhcp config

Greetings everyone,
Please excuse me if i make any grammatical errors(english is not my first language).
I have an ubuntu 11,04 samba domain server, I want to also configure this machine to work as a dhcp server, however this have give me some issues with te windows 7 workstations, my guest is that it have something to do with the iptables because those station do join the samba domain went both server and workstation are conected to a router.

This is the script I use at boot

Code:

#FOR SHARED INTERNET
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE

#FOR SAMBA
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p TCP -m multiport --dports 135,139,445 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p UDP -m multiport --dports 137,138 -j ACCEPT

Internet works fine in the station main problem is went joining the domain, it won't join.

I haven't test it with windows xp station but I have use the same code in the past with no problems, and since this is my first time joining windows 7 station i belive there must be some other port that need fowarding.

Thanks in advance.

Or, possibly, windows 7 has "upgraded" windows networking.

Check that your version of samba allows win7 clients to join
Check that the win7 registries are set up for this etc.

Thanks, for the reply the problem was in the smb.conf, i had commented (#) the netlogon section and forgot to remove the #. On the other hand your links are very usefull. Thank for your time.
