Heya All I'm having a Samba PDC on Centos machine from past 4-5 months everything went one coolly untill I installed vmware on this same machine to put a new server, as the hardware of the computer was very good to support it. No worried with the vmware even both the servers are running properly. My Samba was set to use Interface eth0 with ip 192.168.50.56 . Upon installation the Vmware installed two new interface called vmnet0 having the ip 192.168.219.1 and vmnet8 having the ip 172.16.237.1. Now when my client computers try to contact the samba server there are requesting either of these 2 interfaces for replies. Which I dont want them to do. I want the client computers to request all the samba stuff requests to 192.168.50.56and not to anyother IP's. How do I achieve this? As a solution to the problem I tried to add in hosts file of the client computer (WINXP) the domain name and the ip of the samba server ( 192.168.50.56) but it didnt work. Anyone any idea to how to make it it. Because of this sometimes the roaming profiles are getting loaded and sometimes there are not. Thats a big risk I'm facing. Please help. Thanks for your support. Regards Misbah
sorry typed that on the phone, you wouldn't need the hosts allow and hosts deny entries.

would interfaces = eth0 x.x.x.x hosts deny = ALL hosts allow = x.x.x.x 127.0.0.1 in your smb.conf work?
