I used YaST -> Network Services -> Samba Server to configure samba. Under Identity -> Advanced Settings -> Expert Global Settings, I set interfaces = 192.168.10.10 os level = 65 then started up samba. Unfortunately, the interface is on 192.168.1.10, a simple typo I made. So I corrected it. I still get errors in the system log saying Sep 18 11:32:01 tux nmbd[5413]: [2005/09/18 11:32:01, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(488) Sep 18 11:32:01 tux nmbd[5413]: get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Sep 18 11:32:01 tux nmbd[5413]: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser at IP 192.168.10.10 failed.

I re-started samba, I re-booted the system, yet the error persists. /etc/samba/smb.conf shows the correct values (192.168.1.10). Thanks Peter
