This also affects me; I was simply follwing the recommendation, in the configuration file, since my server is also a firewall:
# 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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996968 Title: Samba needs to be stopped and restarted in order to work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/996968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
