well, depends what you mean by "Full PDC". The "normal" samba
does not (yet) have FULL PDC, I am currently working off-and-on
with samba-tng +ldap which has more PDC code implemented, such
as domain groups, domain trusts(though not sure if it works),
more tested ldap support. see www.samba-tng.org. now to your
question :)

can you "see" it by hitting it manually? e.g. start|run| \\SAMBOX
or put in the IP ..
I assume at this point the win2000 system is not-yet joined to
the samba domain ..

have you configured the win2000 system to use the samba server's
ip as a WINS server? this may help.
next thing to try is to check the samba logs, see what they say
when you try to connect.
