Hey all: I have a laptop running Fedora Core 3 and a dekstop with Widows XP, both connected via a Linksys router. I am trying to figure out a way to allow the laptop 'see' the shared directories on the Windows machine. If I disable the Fedora firewall, it works. I would like to do this without disabling the firewall. A google search turns up to following command: iptables -A INPUT -p ALL -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.1 --destination-port 137:139 -j ACCEPT however this results in an error. Any help on a reasonable firewall rule to allow windows share traffic on my local network only? -cjl -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
