Ok, but in my smb.conf file, I did not have wins server set. Yet nmbd/smbd still
failed at boot with DHCP. Granted I don't know alot about networks, but I do know that
I could not get samba to work correctly with DHCP. And after about three months of
this I was fortunate enough to get a static IP address and nmbd stopped failing at
boot. I've scoured the samba lists for an answer to this problem, that seems to have
happened to a few people, but know one ever came up with the answer to fix it or if it
is even fixable.
thanx,
sa
