samba drive not accessible unless iptables is stopped

iptables is disabled at my Fedora core 6 linux PC, which can be
confirmed by these commands:
# system-config-securitylevel
# ps -ef|grep iptable
root 3170 2926 0 10:15 pts/2 00:00:00 grep iptable

However, my windows PC cannot access a linux drive through samba
unless iptables is stopped on the linux PC.
(or enable the check box to open the ports for samba in system-config-
security).
# service iptables stop
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]

The iptables service is already disabled, so why it still block samba?
i.e. Why it need to be stopped?
