[Resolved] 2 IP Address, Samba on the fritz

[Oogbored]

At some point in the past few hours , Samba has stopped working for me. Its still there, still on, running and the config file looks correct, but no windows system can access it, I'm just given a log in prompt. Additionally, ALARM is now showing on my network under two different and active IP addresses. Before I bake my brain any further searching for a needle in a haystack, has anyone else run into this or know what it might be?

The second IP seems to have just been a latency in the network. I've followed every permutation of the Samba 4 guides to fixing permissions in the config file to no avail. As a side not, my devices MAC address changes on every reboot, as does my internal IP for it as a result since I can't lock it into a static IP by mac.

Issue was with a duplicate conf file that was being edited instead of the correct one. Still having issues with the mac switching though.
