Hi folks.

I use samba to connect to a win98 virtual machine via samba/vmware. I have a problem in that samba works fine until I start ppp. This starts my firewall which immediately drops the samba connection. The firewall stays active after I shut down ppp thus blocking any new samba connection. Once I shut the firewall down I can reconnect.

I am using firestarter as a front end to iptables, the default is to block all incoming and allow all outgoing connections.

I guess I need a rule to allow local? connections to port 135-137 to be unaffected, but how do i do this?

TIA

Barry
