This is an intentional (and sensible) move by your ISP, for the protection of all their customers, and in particular for your protection, as a WinXP user. Sensible ISPs will block TCP ports 135, 139 and 445, to avoid the spread of a number of windows worms. If you wish to use Samba across the internet, then you should setup a VPN between your internal network and the remote Samba server. Unfortunately you will just need to deal with whoever administers your Samba server to arrange this. Andrew Bartlett
