samba server fails at boot time.

[Noam Meltzer]

Hi,

Two possibilities I can think of:
1. the samba script starts before the network is up and thus fails.
2. you have configured your samba to listen on a specific ip address
which only comes up at a later time, most likely manually.

Can you send the contents of:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/network/interfaces

and outputs of the following command: (command assumes using bash)
ls /etc/rc*.d/S*{samba,networking}
/sbin/ip a l

- Noam
