Hello, I am facing the problem that samba does not recognize my network interfaces: Jun 29 12:21:59 ebox nmbd[22377]: [2007/06/29 12:21:59, 0] lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(225) Jun 29 12:21:59 ebox nmbd[22377]: WARNING: no network interfaces found Jun 29 12:21:59 ebox nmbd[22377]: [2007/06/29 12:21:59, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(190) Jun 29 12:21:59 ebox nmbd[22377]: create_subnets: No local interfaces !

Despite the above messages, "smbclient -L localhost" works fine - but that is the only interface that works: [0] ebox:~# smbclient -L localhost Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.24) Anonymous login successful Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- [0] ebox:~# smbclient -L 85.214.16.64 Error connecting to 85.214.16.64 (Connection refused) Connection to 85.214.16.64 failed I suppose the problem arises from the fact that Samba is running an a virtual server with therefore unusal network interfaces. However, apache for example works flawlessly so I think it should be possible to run samba as well.
