samba misbehaving again

[Kerry Hoath]

If you have multiple interfaces tell samba which ones to
listen on, you probably don't want smb trafic ont he internet
since it isn't secure and passwords are easily breakable,
the lm hash isn't that strong.

I checked inetd.conf, the samba logs, hosts.deny, hosts.allow, and of course smb.conf, but everything is as it should be. When I try to connect to my main samba machine with windblows, th main samba machine is not in the list of machines. When I use smbmount from another linux box, I get something like:
