I am trying to set up a firewall using iptables on RH 8.0.
I want to ACCEPT connections from WinXP using smb (and some other stuff) and REJECT everything else. If I do not REJECT anything the thing works a OK.
I think my only problem left is that I do not know what port to ACCEPT. I have read that nt 4.0 use 139 and nt 5.0 use 445. I have tried all and it does not work. I have tried ACCEPT -ing port 80 and it worked OK. What am I doing wrong?
