I opened the appropriate ports for Samba (137, 138, 139, and 445 both tcp and udp). I can't remember if I disabled Shorewall to see if Samba would work but I will try that when I get home. Samba does work properly on my work machine where I have set things up in a similar way. But you may be right to suggest that Shorewall is flakey. I'll disable it to see what happens.
