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?

thanks a lot. Rob
