For cups, port is 631. For Samba, 137-139, 445 But I doubt you have to open any port in XP to use it as a client, if it's a firewall problem it's more likely on the server side. For cups, if your virtualbox machine is on it's own subnet, you need to have in cups config: Allow From @LOCAL and advertise cups server with: ServerName [cups-server-IP] Only thing to check on XP is the "Internet printing client" (or something like that) from "add or remove Windows features" in "add and remove program" control panel (all names are pure invention, but you get the idea about what to look for). I think this feature is selected as a default, but not sure and (happily) I don't have any windows around to check. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
