Re: [Samba] SAMBA problem

[Mohammad Noman]

This is what i did to run a samba file server on linux. I installed liux 8.0 server installation (all packages, selecting security to be medium, no firewalls). After linux was installed i checked samba was already installed along with it. I created user accounts and port them to samba,created smb.conf (and directories to access through samba like public). i understand that linux box is somehow rejecting the connection when windows tries to connect it. But I couldn't find any instructions on how to enable port 137 and 139 for samba. Only thing i find is to run smbd -D and nmbd -D. This is what i see if i run netstat -a.

You need to make sure the firewall on your linux machine is not blocking those ports. So, what is the fireall on your linux machine doing?
