The windows firewall is off. I depend on the router's firewall. I have made some progress - I think. On the linux side the network window shows icons for all machines on the LAN. Also it show an icon for "Window network". If I open the window network I see all machines in my windows work group. If I open a machine icon I get a logon dialog but I have no accounts on those machines so I don't expect to connect. I still can ping. I to now say "unreachable from my IP". And the linux disked I shared via samba still does not show up on the windows side. I expected it to show up under "windows network". I turned ip6tables and iptables back on.
Thanks for your response!
