Hi!

I'd like to know if I can use Samba 2.0.7-36 to connect my Win2K PC to my Linux server?
I can ping both of them, but my Win2K PC can't find my smb share or tells me that my domain does not exist... Is it due to Ipchains or Iptables?? (when I installed my RH7.1, I set the level of the firewall to "medium"...).
THX for help!

I ran into the same problem. Find a portscanner on Tucows or something and find out what ports on your linux box are open. Should have the following open:

137/tcp
137/udp
138/tcp
138/udp
139/tcp

These are netbios ports and they are essential for Samba to work. I just killed my firewall because i don't know how to open up ports. That is my next project and would appreciate any help that I can get to start going in the right direction.

good luck

Does someone know how to disable the firewall or open the Netbios 139-137 ports for connecting to the smb server from Win2K?
I have an another trouble with Samba: once started with the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start" command (or started as daemons), smbd and nmbd stop after a few seconds... What's that trick???

Dont know how to open ports (would like to know though), but to disable you firewall just use setup. In rh it is /usr/sbin/setup. Just select firewall and turn it off.

Also You are using ipchains or tables ? so open the ports ( for netbios blah) in the proper rc.d like(rc5.d). by changing K's to S's. Then in your rules deny the access to those ports coming form the outside world.

or something like this:
Utiliser 'ipchains', add these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or your 'masq' script:
ipchains -A input -p tcp -j DENY --destination-port 137:139 -i eth0
ipchains -A input -p udp -j DENY --destination-port 137:139 -i eth0
ipchains -A output -p tcp -j DENY --destination-port 137:139 -i eth0
ipchains -A output -p udp -j DENY --destination-port 137:139 -i eth0
