[Samba] Help - samba keeps dialing out

[Tim Preece]

Thanks Caio,

It was indeed the interfaces configuration that was missing, however I
have not needed to implement the bind interfaces only option.

Is it possible to set samba ( 2.2.3a ) up as a password server for
windows 2000.

Regards

Tim Preece.
