nmbd  is already running (see above).
"start samba"  will start SMB services and and NMB services. SWAT status will 
now tell me that the Active Connection is my other network computer with  IP 
address is 192.168.1.102.
However, it also tells me that the nmbd is *not* running.
Clicking on the butten named "restart smbd" will result in the IP address to 
revert back to 0.0.0.0
