[Samba] Failed to send packet on .255

Hi All,

On my first internal NIC, Samba is working perfectly.

On my new, second internal NIC, I am getting the following in my
messages log:

libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(793)
Packet send failed to 192.168.254.255(138) ERRNO=Operation not permitted

nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(163)
send_netbios_packet: send_packet() to IP 192.168.254.255 port 137 failed

I though .255 was a reserved address.  What is the error all about?
There is only one computer on my new second nic: 192.168.254.12 and
it is in test phase.

Many thanks,
-T
