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

Interesting that testparm doesn���t show an ���interfaces��� line here. It
does for me.
