Description:
The problem — can't browse samba shares until restart the nmbd and smbd services.
Tried to enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service but no luck.

Additional info:
1. My PC is connected to the network using networkmanager and Linksys AE3000 usb wi-fi adapter which makes the network start up a bit delayed.
2. Samba is configured to be a master browser.
3. The config and log files are attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use networkmanager with wi-fi connection
2. Reboot
3. Try to browse samba shares in dolphin

Also may be useful:
LU-10-4 — is my router (also with Samba on board)

$ sudo killall -HUP smbd nmbd

BTW, had exactly the same problem with wicd and if I am not wrong with wired connection also.

Well you need to setup your network correctly, so this is not a samba bug at all.
networkmanager has a wait-for-online service, netctl has a waiting function too, or use plain systemd service files to wait for a certain network device.

I tell you once again get your network configured properly and don't bug me that this is a samba bug.
I'll not open this again. If networkmanager does not work for you open a bug against this or try my mentioned things above with netctl or systemd directly.
