OK, this still isn't working, so I took the following steps: 1)Added the following rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables and rebooted: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m udp -p udp --dport 137:138 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT The result of 'smbtree': (blank) 2)After 'iptables -F', the result of 'smbtree': HOMEGROUP \\MONKEYCHICKEN cli_full_connection: failed to connect to MONKEYCHICKEN<20> (0.0.0.0) \\BIGMONKEY \\BIGMONKEY\C$ Default share \\BIGMONKEY\ADMIN$ Remote Admin \\BIGMONKEY\Data (D) \\BIGMONKEY\D$ Default share \\BIGMONKEY\IPC$ Remote IPC 3)Started capturing packets in ethereal, then run 'smbtree'. Ethereal output shows activity on ports 137, 139, 445, and also on ports in the 32700-32900 range. What gives? Could it be the configuration of my Linksys router than is screwing things up? -cjl -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
