Comment 85 for bug 462169

Myself and a friend have both had to use Samba with IP addresses, until I found that by restarting nmbd, name resolution works again. (Ubuntu 10.04).

My machine automatically logs in. I don't use the network manager applet; I have DHCPd running on my server and use bridging.

Perhaps nmbd needs to start and continue irrespective of whether there are broadcast capable interfaces, and link to the interfaces when up.

I'll work around this bug by writing a script to start nmbd late in the boot process.
