First, I just checked my SMB.conf for interfaces and found it commented that portion out (see below). Would that be why it's not showing up in testparm?: #### Networking #### # The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to # This can be either the interface name or an IP address/ # netmask; # interface names are normally preferred ; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 # Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you # must use the # 'interfaces' option above to use this. # It is recommended that you enable this feature if your # Samba machine is # not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself. # However, this # option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces # correctly. ; bind interfaces only = yes ------------ I also got the output of "ifconfig" (below) - p2p1 being the active interface. I'm guessing the interfaces line above needs to be changed, but to what exactly? Another piece of info that might help with answers is a bit of info on the layout of my network... any wired machines, access points etc are on the 192.168.1.nnn range 192.168.0.nnn wirelessly connected devices lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 p2p1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 74:d4:35:be:72:6d inet addr:192.168.1.200 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::76d4:35ff:febe:726d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 On 1 February 2015 at 18:47, Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> wrote:

Interesting that testparm doesn’t show an “interfaces” line here. It does for me. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
