SAMBA Unseen!!!

[David Comeau]

Although I can now see the server, I am still not able to connect to it. 
Looking at the /var/log/samba/log.smbd file, the following shows up:

open_oplock_ipc: Failed to get local UDP socket for address 100007f. Error 
was Can't assign requested address

I seem to be making headway.
