Can not join a Windows XP machine to OS X Server 10.5.3 Open Directory

Question

I have setup an OS X Server for testing before we deploy it to the network for production. And I trying to join the Windows XP machine to the Domain which I set up in Server Admin under SMB and I get an error "A domain controller for the domain "DomainName" could not be contacted". I have setup WINS, DCHP and DNS. I ping the OS X Server using the it's Fully qualified domain name and I can see the server under network neighbourhood but I can not login into.
