I'm transitioning myself from Red Hat 9 to Fedora Core 1. I had Samba working on RH9 for my home network. I haven't gotten there yet with Fedora. When I try to access the disk shares from Windows 2000, I see the server under the Workgroup in "My Network Places". When I double-click on the server icon, I get an error dialog declaring "\\Orpheus is not accessible. The network path was not found."I had a similar problem that turned out to be the firewall. I opened ports 137-139,445 in /etc/sysconfig/iptables, restarted iptables, and the problem went away.
I'll start looking for a Samba Howto. In the meantime, I thought I would see if this error message meant anything specific to anyone on the list.
Knowing less about iptables than smb.conf and based on what I found in the existing /etc/sysconfig/iptables, I added these two lines:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
Are these the entries I _should_ add to iptables?
Thanks!
