FWIW I have exactly the same problem on Hardy (Alpha 6). If I attempt to browse my other machines (all Gutsy) I _may_ be able to browse one (not consistent) machine's shared folder, but consistently cannot browse another machine's shared folder without: sudo ifconfig lo down/up. Prior to doing so I _always_ check ifconfig and find that: 1) lo is up and 2) I can ping local host.
I have 2 fixed IP's on the Hardy machine & /etc/network/interfaces is: ==== # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.4.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.4.1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.4.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.4.1 auto eth1 ==== I also have an identical Gutsy machine with dual interfaces as well (different local IP's of course) and have no such problems with Samba. Request that the status of this bug be changed from "Invalid" to "New" or something else until the problem is determined not to be Samba and/or identified as caused by some other component. -- SMBD hangs on startup if lo is down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
