Thanks, I've since found that if you type the name of the Server and 
Domain name in UPPERCASE it connects fine e.g. When you select "Connect 
to Server" enter the Server name in uppercase and in the domain name 
section enter the name of the "Windows AD domain" also in uppercase.

This has worked on every 12.04 box so far for me, hope it helps.

Cheers
