Hi.
Your problem is the firewall.
Native windows firewall open all "samba" ports (139,445,etc) only to
machine's local subnet.
So if ur machine is: 192.168.0.1 then firewall open ports only for
192.168.0.0/24
Imho is better if u disable windows native firewall and install a better
application :)
(or, ofc, change your subnet configuration).
Hope this help. (and really sorry for my bad english).
Bye
Veon.
