nmbd is running.  It looks as though chameleon is not on the same network as 
the rest of us - definitely a change, as it used to be seen easily from this 
box, and isn't any more.  I've checked smb.conf, and even pasted in the 
global section from this box, to give a known working configuration.

The workgroup name is correct.  testparm shows no errors.  I've checked 
smbusers and smbpasswd.  No problems at all show up.  Etherape can see 
chameleon.

Cabling must be OK, as I can send mail using the lan address.
