What I did change on the IPCop machine though was to tweak some rules that I never before noticed needed tweaking. That's a side benefit, I suppose, of looking through lots of things trying to get Samba to work. But here's the relevant portion of those rules in case you're wondering (this might wrap and look like crap): /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 135 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 135 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 137 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 137 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 139 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 139 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p tcp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 445 -j DROP /sbin/iptables -A CUSTOMINPUT -p udp -s ! 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 445 -j DROP
