I have a Samba server running on my small home network. The home
network is served off its own NIC (eth0). A separate NIC (eth1) is
connected thru cable modem to VOIP router. The VOIP router appears to
be doing NAT and serves up an address:

I can see my shares on the network from a Windows XP client. All seems
well. I have shared my linux box printer thru the printer share & it works.
My testparm file:
==========
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = SAMBA
server string = Samba %v
interfaces = eth0
bind interfaces only = Yes
guest account = lvanek
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

*ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*upda
ed*successfully*
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
guest ok = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
cups options = raw
Several things:
1) You have the netbios name as SAMBA and the error messages indicate
that the host name is "localhost". Try adding samba as an alias for the
system in /etc/hosts so the samba resolves.
2) Unless you need it, turn off wins support.
3) Your host allow is set to 192.168.1. but it looks like the NIC is
configured with 192.168.15...
Try fixing these and then bounce smb.
Cheers,
Dave
