Happy Ubunting!
wow, this worked immediately for me....which begs the question how the hell has it been working for the last 3 months with eth1 set when I had no eth1 connection!
Thanks for the post
I had the similar symptoms--computers on the network, including VMs, could not see each other (ubuntu or windows, although windows 7 computers could see each other only).
I found the following in smb.conf networking section:
; interfaces=127.0.0.0/8 eth0
; bind interfaces only = yes"
I commented these lines and restarted samba (for me, on lucid, it was "sudo smbd restart") and all was well.
This all happened after a samba update via update manager followed by shutdown/restart of all computers in anticipation of the Hurricane Irene.
Thanks for the help.
