Hi, I've been running samba on a linux machine (dslkayak) to share a folder and a printer with several windows machines on a home network for a couple of years without problems. I've recently added a second linux machine (ps3ydl) to the network, but I cannot access it from any other machines on the network even though it can access the other network shares. There error I get is: cli_start_connection: failed to connect to PS3YDL<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE even though I can ping to ps3ydl. Any help would be appreciated, details below.
