Problem with Samba

Hello,
    I'm using RedHat ES3. I wanna set up this machine to be file server. 
The problem is when I run samba daemon, there was an error

Shutting down SMB services: [FAILED]
Shutting down NMB services: [OK]
Starting SMB services: [OK]
Starting NMB services: [OK]

(using command - "service smb restart")

    When I use "service smb status" command it said

smbd dead but pid file exists
nmbd (pid 4787) is running...


    I also have VMware installed. According to manual page of VMware 
they said

This system appears to have a CIFS/SMB server (Samba) configured for 
normal use.
If this server is intended to run, you need to make sure that it will not
conflict with the Samba server setup on the private network (the one 
that we use
to share the host's filesystem).  Please check your /etc/samba/smb.conf 
file so
that:

.  The "interfaces" line does not contain "172.16.75.1/255.255.255.0"
.  There is a "socket address" line that contains only your real host IP 
address

    I try to config smb.conf but it isn't seem to work. Does anyone 
encountered this problem before? Help me please.
