>From what I know, if your PDC is on a different subnet, then the PCs won't be able to see it. This is a limitation of netbios and is addressed by having a WINS server. I haven't followed your problem entirely but I suppose that now that your server has 2 interfaces, it is able to listen to another subnet and can therefore address requests received there.
As for the loopback interface, it is useful for testing if samba is working from the server itself via smbclient -L localhost for example. Regards, Franz -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
