Hello,
I wonder if someone could help me with a LAN browsing problem?
I have Mandriva 2006 on a PC connected to an adsl router/firewall. Also
connected to the router is a WinXP machine. Being a bit paranoid I also have
the software firewall running on the Mandriva machine.
Using MCC, firewall if I tick the Everything (no firewall) box I can see the
other PC using smb://home with no problem. If I remove the tick in everything
and tick Windows file sharing (smb), smb browsing fails with
error message could not connect to host for smb://home.
What port do I need to allow through the firewall to allow this?
Google suggests port 139 but haven't I allowed that by ticking the Windows
file sharing (smb) option?
Thanks for any suggestions/comments.
netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns 137/udp
netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm 138/udp
netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NETBIOS session service
netbios-ssn 139/udp
139 is the file sharing. 137 lets you brows the network. I don't use MCC
to set up the firewall, so I am not sure what the checkbox does.
