Package: samba Version: 3.0.23b-1 Followup-For: Bug #382429 I also have the same problem. Samba fills nmbd logs by writing "WARNING: no network interfaces found" every 5 seconds. We've had some random trouble mounting samba shares and XBMC (XBox Media Center) cannot find Samba shares at all anymore but gives an error instead.
Downgrading back to 3.0.22 fixes these things, ie. XBMC works again and logs don't get flooded.

Otherwise leave it as "no" and specify your WINS server ; below (note: only one Samba server can be the WINS server). ; Read BROWSING.txt for more details. wins support = yes ; If this server is not the WINS server then specify who is it and uncomment ; next line. ; wins server = 172.16.0.10 ; Please read BROWSING.txt and set the next four parameters according ; to your network setup.
