Has anyone had this one?

My log.nmb file gives:

1999/03/22 11:29:48 netbios nameserver version 1.9.18p10 started

make_subnet: Failed to open nmb socket on interface 10.1.7.1 for port 137.

ERROR: Failed when creating subnet lists. Exiting.

Samba works except for browsing (we have to specify the server name in the
path, or use Find Computer).

We are on AIX 4.1.5. I check the services running and see the following for
port 137:

netbios-ns      137/tcp                         # NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns      137/udp                         # NETBIOS Name Service

Anyone see whats not right here?

Regards, Dave
