Solution:
Check weather Loop Back interface is up.
#ifconfig
If the lo is down, make it up
#ifup ifcfg-lo
Also check /etc/samba/smb.conf and configure the available interfaces.
In my case,
interfaces = eth0, lo
modified to
interfaces = ens32, lo
Thanks! Saved my day!! Debian 9 uses new names for interfaces, not more “eth0”.
