Hi,
I am using samba to connect to my computer using a media player and every time I try to connect to a share it will not work unless I manually restart the samba service.
I did a bit a searching on this issue and I found this.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1183853 (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1183853)
This is exactly what is happening to me. In that link it mentions the person filled a bug report about it because he had to manually change a file provided by the package maintaner.
Here is what is in my log file.

Does a bug report need to be reported on this or is there somethng wrong just on my system and I will need to edit the same files mentioned in that link?
I am using amd64. If any one needs more info let me know.
Thank you.

I have solved this issue. To fix it I went into the samba config file and I made the interfaces line a comment. After I did that I rebooted and samba was working fine.
