Samba through Suse 9.0 firewall?

QCompson · 11-10-2003, 09:05 AM

Does anyone know how to get samba working while using Suse's built-in firewall? I am trying to communicate with a XP box. The only box I have checked on the main firewall settings screen is http, and under additional services I have opened ports 137-139 and port 444. Samba works fine when I disable the firewall, but I get an error message (from windows box) saying the computer is not available when firewall is active.

Thanks for any help.

Using 9.0, I have two way communication with win98 machines. In yast->security->firewall, enter 137 and 137 (separated by a space) in the advanced settings window.

Also port 1024 is sometimes needed with Samba along with 137 and 139. I don't think port 444 is used by Samba.

I made a mistake. That should have been 137 and 139. Sorry.
