Hi Folks,
I am looking to try and find a solution to the following problem and hope someone can help. I have just installed Samba on an HP Proliant Microserver at home to share disk with my Windows 7 PC and Vista laptop. I have managed to get everything set up but I have an issue where on a reboot the Windows 7 PC looses the share. If I restart samba (using /etc/ini.d/samba restart) then everything works ok and the Share re-appears over the network. It looks like a startup issue where Samba is not binding to port 139 and 445 using the IP address of the server only the loopback. It is similar to the issue in this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576293 but the solution does not fit as I can't find an smbd.conf file in /etc/init. I have the following errors in the smbd log at startup: [2011/07/03 15:29:23.569090, 0] lib/util_sock.c:880(open_socket_in) bind failed on port 445 socket_addr = fe80::9a4b:e1ff:fe06:c899%eth0.
