[Samba] samba and dhcp

[Hidong Kim]

Hi,

Can a machine getting its IP address by DHCP run as a Samba server? 
I've set up several Red Hat machines as Samba servers.  They all have 
static IP addresses.  I want to have a Red Hat 8.0 laptop which gets its 
IP address by DHCP running as a Samba server.  I usually start Samba 
with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start".  When I do this on the laptop, it 
says that smb and nmb start OK.  But when I do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb 
status" on the laptop, it says that smbd is stopped and nmbd is running. 
  When I do "smbclient -L localhost" on the laptop, it says that 
connection is refused to 127.0.0.1.  I've tried installing Samba 2.2.7a 
from source, and installing Samba 2.2.5 from RPMS.  I still can't start 
smbd.  Thanks for any suggestions,
