    Hi all;

    Using Fedora Core 2

    I am having some trouble mounting shares on my windows computer with the
    red hat firewall turned on.

    The windows xp computer has no trouble getting through the red hat
    firewall to the samba shares on my linux box.

    If I turn off the red hat firewall I am able to access the shares on the
    win xp computer.

    I opened these ports in the firewall:
    137:udp, 138:udp, 139:tcp, 445:tcp

    This is exactly what is recommended on the samba.org HowTo manual
    http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/securing-samba.html#id2544979

    Also in Windows XP I have the exact same ports opened by default in the
    windows xp firewall.

    I am thinking that there is some kind of blocking in the red hat
    firewall that is preventing me from fully opening the outgoing nmbd
    request. I guess I am reaching the point where I should learn how to
    use iptables and just allow the IP of my win xp computer to communicate
    with the linux computer.

    Any suggestions, or a port that I should try opening up?

    Thanks
