This is more likely to be the cause.  If you have a flat network, (same
subnet).  You don't need WINS, DNS, the AD client, the LMHOSTS file or the
browser service on the client to join a workstation to the domain.

Make sure that your workstations and servers are using the same password 
encryption level.  If you have the NT boxes on LM or NTLM, and the server on

NTLMv2 only it won't allow you to connect to the domain, also at that level 
you must ensure that netbios is enabled on the server or there is this wierd

bug that won't let you join new computers.
