I reverted the solution so you could see for yourself how to reproduce the problem.
1st, the current state:
$ find /etc -lname '*samba*'
/etc/rc4.d/S20samba
/etc/rc1.d/K20samba
/etc/rc3.d/S20samba
/etc/rc0.d/K20samba
/etc/rc6.d/K20samba
/etc/rc2.d/S20samba
/etc/rc5.d/S20samba
harel@harel-laptop 2009-03-06 $ /etc/init.d/samba status
 * nmbd is running
 * smbd is not running
2nd, attached my /etc/samba/smb.conf.
3rd, I typically do not configure samba to listen to *.* (too afraid of misuse) so I typically limit samba on specific network. This can be viewd in the smb.conf file.
