Shorewall question - trusted ip
 

Hello,


I am trying to add a rule to shorewall in the rules file:

ACCEPT net:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx fw tcp 137,138,139 -

As you may have guest by now i am trying to get shorewall to allow one
ip address to connect through it. Shorewall adds the rule and process it, but when i try to access from the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address that i mentioned in the rule it won't alow me to go through. Samba is installed everything else is ok i can connect from internal network to the shares, but i need to connect from the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address. Is there something i need to do to make these ports ( 137,138,139 ) accessable from this ip?

Thanks,

137 and 138 are UDP ports, only 139 is TCP (when used by SMB/CIFS, at least).
