Happens to be VMS 7.3, TCPIP 5.1. That fixed it, although I still get this:

%TCPIP-E-CONFIGERROR, error processing configuration request
-SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value

I also still can't log in, it takes forever to get the logon box and 
doesn't accept my username and password.
At least the service still keeps running. I'm sure I have an error in 
smb.conf or something. Thanks for your help.
