[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.

I tried to add the IP addresses as suggested, but that made no difference. The parameter "bind interfaces only" is set to the default of No. I don't understand the suggestion of setting the smbpasswd -r for a remote machine. I guess I don't understand why passwords would have anything to do with this problem, and for what remote machine would I set it for? On a slightly related front, it appears I have been in communication with Lars apparently, via a bug report I submitted about smbstatus not working. It appeared that some files were missing that was preventing it from running, and that discussion has led me to believe I don't have the latest version of samba installed, and YaST is not allowing me to access it for SuSE11.0 I am now wondering if perhaps getting this later version of Samba - ver 3.2.4.4.8 might solve it. I have version 3.2.4.4.7 and YaST is not giving me any indication that a later version is available... So how do I talk YaST into giving me this newer version of Samba?
