I'd realised that. I'm not exactly a newcomer to unix/samba :) > What is the output of 'netstat -a'? netstat was originally (I thought) showing nothing listening on 0.0.0.0. Reading the man page I realise this can't be right, since nmbd needs to listen there for broadcast traffic. It's currently showing a listener on 0.0.0.0. Tweaking socket address, interfaces, and bind interfaces only doesn't appear to change this, but as I said that's what I'd expect having read through the manual page. I'm just suffering from some sort of delusion that I managed to switch the service off at some point. > HAve you set up a firewall on your system? How have you firewalled port > 137/udp? No, the whole point of my setup is to try and configure any services on the machine to be safe in the absence of a firewall. If I don't have a listener on a given interface, then it doesn't matter if the firewall is working or not, you can't get any information from that interface for whatever service you're looking for.
