Hi there,

I have/had the same problem with smbd and nmbd,

to fix the problem with the smbd I made the following entry in
smb.conf:
socket address = 192.168.1.5 (your LAN-IP)
interfaces = net0 192.168.1.5/24 (NIC and IP)
bind interfaces only = Yes

the daemons are started with the "-D" option from command-line.

but my nmbd still have the same problem:
[2002/03/13 19:01:34, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(789)
  bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.
  Error = Address already in use
[2002/03/13 19:01:34, 3] lib/util_sock.c:(789)

Any ideas ?
