Hmn.
You need to go back a few steps. Attack one problem at a time; let's
start with Samba.
It looks like you've broken your Samba install -- that is, you didn't do
a clean upgrade. Did you remove your old version before you put in the
new version? (I suspect this because it sounds like your scripts are in
disarray).
First, let's see if you can ping the other hosts on your network. Get
the IP addresses for the hosts you are having trouble with, and ping
them. We need to make sure that you can talk to them properly.
Second, make sure you don't have any mounted SMB volumes. Unmount them
if you do.
Third, use smbclient to see if you can look at the hosts in question:
# smbclient -L hostname
If there is a problem, it will return errors.
Try this first, and then get back to us.
