[global] workgroup = CHAMBERLIN interfaces = eth1
why eth1 and not eth0? Do you have 2 NIC's? Try commenting that line out and restarting smb.
Yes I have two NIC's. eth0 connects to the wild outside world. eth1 connects to my internal network. This computer acts as my gateway and protects my internal network with a firewall.

Try putting this by interfaces:
interfaces = eth1 192.168.1.1 (change that ip to whatever your local ip is for eth1)
Why should the IP address be added in addition to the NIC name? It might be required to add 127.0.0.1 to the list of interfaces. In particular if you set "bind interfaces only = Yes" (the default is No). The alternative might be to use "smbpasswd -r <remote machine>".
I got that from:
I consider this as an example. It's enough to use the interface name or the IP address. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
