on second thought, even if samba will start you won't be able to access it if it only
have the loopback IP. you can add an IP by copying
'/etc/sysconfig/netword-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' (if you're connecting through ethernet. if
not use the device your connecting through) to
'/etc/sysconfig/netword-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0' (again, with the right device), editing
it, and then running 'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup etho' (...replace eth0 with the correct
device...). I don't remember if it's eth0:0 or eth0:1. try them both.
