Simon.
The box has 2 ip nic cards and 2 different Ip addresses
151.109.168.180 and 151.109.168.75
when I ping I get 151.109.168.180
when I do a nmblookup I get 151.109.168.75
how can I assign samba to use the 151.109.168.180 which is the one that DNS
has
registered

Sorry taking so long to reply!
It does sound like it's a netbios name resolution problem as I said in
my last message. If you do a ping, that uses DNS to resolve the name, so
that's fine. A browse request however does not use DNS, but queries the
master browser, or WINS server. If you don't have a WINS server, then this
fails. A *nix client will probably fall back to DNS if Netbios resolution fails,
but Windows clients won't.
