multiple samba instances

[Mirakulix]

Hi there

after some try and error I got 2 instances of my samba server running (even with the correct conf's), but still there are some things I need help with:
1. samba and/or nmb come up differently at each boot (power was not off every time; a power off even more changed behaviour of the smbd/nmbd). Usually the nmbd comes up for both instances, smbd only for one. Sometimes the second instance comes up after a few minutes.
2. smb access (if running) runs fine for both servers (IP access), nmb (after about 5 minutes) access works only for Aquarium, GallischesDorf usually times out.
3. sometimes XP vmware client access works on alternatively one server, in rare cases even both), but never 11.1 client or even local access to GallischesDorf
4. sometimes after rebooting the nmblookup cries for a missing unexpected.tdb (this seems to happen when nothing seems to work except IP access to smbd)

My configuration (it's not perfect, beeing new to linux...):

SUSE 11.1-x64 KDE4 with all SUSE updates on a Intel Q6600 / GA-G33 machine
eth0 LAN, vmnet1 (both server GallischesDorf, vmnet6 (server Aquarium)
users are registered with passwords, firewall is explicitly switched off for all mentioned networks
server's nmblookup and smbstatus states OK for both servers

The scripts and conf's are based on a working single samba server configuration (before starting to try a dual samba) and the startup scripts modified for dual server start.
