True what you said. I checked /var/log/samba/smbd.log and I found the problem. For some reason I get the error: bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.I am not running any service on that port. I then tried running smbd with the -p otion and specified any particula port "in my case 140", and it started the daemon successfuly, but then I couldnt access the shares from another computer. What do you think I should do next?
