This is what is needed to make samba with browsing work: On the server (assumes Intrepid server): $ sudo ufw allow Samba $ sudo ufw logging on $ sudo ufw enable $ sudo ufw status Status: loaded
To Action From -- ------ ---- Samba ALLOW Anywhere Then on the client: $ sudo ufw allow from any port 137 proto udp $ sudo ufw logging on $ sudo ufw enable $ sudo ufw status Firewall loaded To Action From -- ------ ---- Anywhere ALLOW 137:udp The client rule is needed because when browsing, the client sends out a broadcast packet and the servers respond from their own ip address. The broadcast packets and server addresses are different so they aren't added to the connection tracking table, so a specific rule is needed. You can of course limit this to your internal network like so: $ sudo ufw allow from 192.168.0.1/24 port 137 proto udp I tested this configuration and confirmed it works fine via Places/Network. If you are stilll having problems, please ensure that you enabled logging as above, and please give the UFW entries from /var/log/kern.log. -- ufw blocks samba in 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345221 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
