[Samba] smbtree Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE

[John Frankish]

Hi,

I've been running samba on a linux machine (dslkayak) to share a 
folder and a printer with several windows machines on a home network 
for a couple of years without problems.

I've recently added a second linux machine (ps3ydl) to the network, 
but I cannot access it from any other machines on the network even 
though it can access the other network shares.

There error I get is:

cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PS3YDL<20> (0.0.0.0). 
Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE

even though I can ping to ps3ydl.

Any help would be appreciated, details below.
