It also serves PPP to some Windows dialup clients. It works fine without putting ppp0 in the interfaces. It may be some kind of Linux specific thing. When I run testparms I get: interfaces bind interfaces only = No (these must be defaults) I don't have to have my PPP connection up for the nmbd start correctly. But... It doesn't show up in browse lists. You might try doing: Start/Find/Computer to get to that machine / those shares. I can send you some ifconfig and route outputs if that will help.
