About half the time when I type service smb start, I get the [ok] for both smbd and nmbd, however, issuing service smb stop results in a [failed] on nmbd 100% of the time > snip > >An important piece of information that wasn't originally included. sorry about that > >Have you looked at the "interfaces" parameter in smb.conf? >http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#INTERFACES Yes, I have. This was one of the first changes I made to smb.conf, since I knew I would need the server on both interfaces. That line in smb.conf is as follows: interfaces = xxx.xxx.x.x/24 x.xx.xxx.x/20 Not that it matters, but the first address is the internal one. I followed an example on the web for this line, I think it's right. >In the future please post what the log says, not an interpretation of it. >Something that may not seem important could be the key. > Okay, here's the log.nmbd. It has this group of entries repeating throughout.
