Michael, One of the biggest frustrations in IT is when something starts or stops working for no apparent reason. I think I've figured out why this happens.
The magical computer gremlins that make PC's work are growing scarce, very much like IP addresses and phone numbers. Apparently, your Samba gremlin has relocated to my machine and magically fixed my problem. Unfortunately, without your gremlin, your machine will not work correctly. I heard a rumor that a group of IT companies and Open Source communities have started developing an aphrodisiac for computer gremlins. Unfortunately, I've also heard that Microsoft and SCO claim to already have a patent on the idea. Sorry. I realize this post does absolutely nothing to help you solve your problem!
