I probably did this to myself, but I\'m terrible at remembering or documenting the changes I make...
But recently I noticed that if I connect to my 5600 (sharp rom 1.32) to my desktop through the cradle/usb, then disconnect, I can\'t make a samba connection. I have to reboot the Z in order for samba to work. I thought this used to work, but I don\'t usb connect too often so I might have missed it.
I also thought there was a thread around here with a similar problem, but my searches didn\'t find it...
If anyone could suggest some things to check, I\'d much appreciate it. This isn\'t a killer, but it is a bit annoying.
Thanks...

Well, that generated a lot of help ;-)
I really hate to look into and modify the system scripts without some more informed guidance...
I have noticed that a USB connection leaves dhcpd running. I also found that a \"sudo killall dhcpd\" will fix this problem. Much better than rebooting! But there must be something wrong here that can be fixed?
One more noticing(?) After a samba connection, nmbd is left running. This apparently doesn\'t harm anything, but it does eat some memory. Maybe it\'s connected to the above? Maybe it would be a similar fix?
Again, any help would be appreciated...
