    Hello
    I've been working on a Samba machine for a while.
    Recently, I tried to turn on its firewall.
    But my configuration to iptables is flawed somehow -- it is half right
    and half wrong.

    Here is what I've done:
     - I used system-config-securitylevel to config new ports to open
     - I've opened ports 139:tcp, 445:tcp, 137:udp, 138:udp
     - I restart the iptables to load up the configs.

    Here is the consequence right now:
     - As I reboot my client PC, I cannot connect to samba shared folders --
    unless I stop iptables first
     - After I've connected to Samba once, I can connect to Samba as many
    time as I want to -- even if I start iptables again.

    I guest one more port or something is responsible for the first
    connection to the server.
    Does anybody have any idea?
