Iam running Samba 2.0.10 on a FreeBSD 4.2 platform within a Windows 98/2k peer to peer network. Most of the time this system appears to be working very well with the file system nicely browsable by the client machines. Unfortunately, from time to time the following error appears within the log.smb: [2002/02/14 10:54:28, 3] lib/util.c:interpret_addr(1833) Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host. ed0 [2002/02/14 10:54:28, 2] lib/interface.c:interpret_interface(132) can't determine netmask for ed0 [2002/02/14 10:54:28, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(83) added interface ip=192.168.255.1 bcast=192.168.255.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 [2002/02/14 10:54:28, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1054 are available.
