Question #72444 on Gufw changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/gui-ufw/+question/72444
Tim proposed the following answer: Well, that could be a possibility! Actually was having trouble with samba itself. So, I un-installed the samba package and reinstalled and used Webmin to configure samba and I finally got Samba working correctly. Can access computers from my Linux box and can access my Linux box from my Windose machines. I added some rules manually to ufw through the Linux shell: sudo ufw allow proto....... and so on. I did have the Gufw program running at the same time. I would disable Gufw and then re-enable and the rules showed up. I can clearly see that I was not entering my rules properly in my Gufw. So now I still have access both ways with my computers, Linux to Windows and Windows to Linux with firewall enabled. I still have a problem with the firewall blocking access when I access my dropdown menu from the Gnome desktop panel: Places/Network. It does pull up the folder and shows the network icon but when you click on the network icon it does not show anything at all and it should be showing my workgroup. I do know that when clicking on the network icon it accesses smb:/// . Now here is the funny part, I can access all my computers through direct access by typing in smb://nameofcomputer/nameoffoldershare/ and so on. So I really don't think it is blocking samba all together. My thinking is that there may be one more port I need to open possibly so I can access the workgroup. I just don't know which one. Any help on this would be appreciated. Maybe someone else will learn something from this post as well.
