smbclient doesn't operate properly

A couple of nights ago, I emailed in regardto not being able to open SWAT.
I have fixed that now (I reinstalled the inetd rpm). Now I am stuck at the
stage where you recommend we run smbclient.

This is exactly what I type, and what I get back in return

#smbclient -U% -L localhost
added interface ip=144.132.195.129 bcast=144.132.207.255
nmask=255.255.240.0
added interface ip=192.168.0.21 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Broken pipe.
session request to LOCALHOST failed (code 0)
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by
peer.
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (code 0)

First question is - why is it detecting my external ip address? I do not
want samba to have anything to do with that. I have made sure that there
is no reference to this IP in any of the samba conf files. 

Second, this is what I get in the log file when I run the above commmand
(it is pretty long, I do appologise):

I hope that if you can help, then the info that I have provided will make
it easier to work out what is going on.

Oh, and I have nmbd and snbd (the daemons) being run using the lines that
you recommended putting inside inetd.conf. (they are no where else, not
in rc.local, or init.d/smb)

Thanks for taking out the time to read this lengthy plea for help.
