hi. thank you for reply.
i enabled connection from firewall to windows server on 137/udp,
138/udp, 139/udp and 139/tcp.
i tunnelled 137, 138 and 139 to windows server over SSH in putty.
i switched off 'file and printer sharing in MS network'
and it does not work? it behaves same way as i described it in my last
email (i copy it below your email).
any help please?
regards, Wojtek

I think, you have to enable the following UDP ports on your firewall to
use Samba:
- 137/udp
- 138/udp
Also, you have to use WINS or DNS to resolve computer names, if you need
to. You don't have to enable any other ports to use WINS. DNS runs on
ports 53/tcp and 53/udp. Enable these ports on your firewall, and try to
connect to your share from the remote machine.
This worked for me through a VPN connection, I hope it will work for
you, too.
hi, i am trying to tunnel SMB over the SSH tunnel. but it does not work
for me :-( could you advice me please?
my setup is:
- laptop with windows xp connected somewhere to internet;
- gateway-firewall (ubuntu with shorewall) with public and local network
address;
- windows server (with local network address);
i enabled tcp connections in shorewall (firewall) from gateway to
windows server on port 139.
i did try to do all the steps that are described in documents like
http://www.security-hacks.com/2007/05/18/tunneling-smb-over-ssh-secure-file-sharing
i also did other option by trying to uninstall 'file and printer sharing
for ms networks' and i try to connect to map \\localhost\folder_name
directly and tunnel local port 139 to the windows server port 139.
it all does not work. i get either 'no path' message or i am asked about
the user and password while 'maping the network drive' but whatever user
& password i provide the user/password window come back on and on.
what can i try to make it work? please advice...
best regards, Wojtek
