I just installed samba from the ports and set up the smb.conf file by, initially, setting only the workgroup name to match my home network. I then tried to start samba but it fails with these messages -

Error = Address already in use What else could be using port 139? And how do I fix this? I tried a search of the lists on google but came up with no relevant answers.
