Odd. this time the stop registered an [OK] for both smbd and nmbd, after I edited smb.conf and commented out the interfaces line > >Sorry, I assumed you were trying to use Samba only on the internal >interface.

The IPs are different. The internal one is 192.168.1.4, but I'd rather not reveal the external one. I will say it is on a class a address with a 20 bit mask. Also, I'm pretty confident that line is formatted correctly, so the actual address shouldn't matter. They are two completely different schemes on two completely different networks. But as the interfaces line is currently commented out, it shouldn't really matter. regards, shane.
