Thanks,

I don't know if you've got this all sorted out by now (this message just
showed up in my Inbox today) but:
Logs for samba are in /var/log/samba, note that there are two daemons,
smbd and nmbd. Check both log files.
Two (related) things I would check in the smb.conf:
interfaces = eth0 lo <--Make sure it's set to the proper NIC
bind interfaces only = yes <--- If set to yes, nmbd will ignore
broadcasts that don't come from the "interfaces =" line and smbd will
bind only to interfaces listed in "interfaces ="
You can set them both "interfaces = " and "bind interfaces only = no"
and nmbd/smbd will answer on any interface they can find.
If you've check that the services are running:
# netstat -pant | grep smbd, you should see it bound to 139 and 445,
then you can use "smbclient" to connect from the samba machine itself.
# smbclient -L //1.2.3.4 -U%
Another thing to check would be to if you can connect to the share (from
the XP machines) by IP. If you can connect by IP but not by name, your
name lookups might not be working.
# netstat -pan | grep nmbd, you should see it bound to 137 and 138.
then you can test your lookups with
# nmblookup -B 1.2.3.255 mybrokenserver
Hope some of that helps.
