try opening port 445 as well. smb runs over tcp/ip in newer versions of windows if you have it enabled.

The default policy on my chains is set to deny and then i am giving the following ipchains rule for samba. ipchains -A input -p tcp -s $Internal_subnet -d Internal_net 137:139 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A input -p udp -s $Internal_subnet -d Internal_net 137:139 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -p tcp -d $Internal_subnet -s Internal_net 137:139 -j ACCEPT ipchains -A output -p udp -d $Internal_subnet -s Internal_net 137:139 -j ACCEPT this does not work. BUT, If i change the policy to accept all, then the samba is accessible from my win client machines. just to make sure that the ipchains was configured properly i ran my ftp server from all 3 ports and tested the connection from a client machine. i was able to connect to the ftp server. can someone please tell me what i am missing.
