Samba is driving me crazy: My scenario: Linux box connected to the net, firewalled with FWBuilder Firewall blocks all connections to the box by default Lan consists of four Windows machines - traffic from the Lan through the firewall to the net is permitted, and replies to requests from the Lan from the net are permitted. I've opened up ports for Samba to the lan; >>137 tcp/udp >>138 tcp/udp >>139 tcp >>445 tcp/udp My smb.conf [global] netbios name = viewridgeproductions2 ldap ssl = No restrict anonymous = no server string = Samba max protocol = NT workgroup = WORKGROUP os level = 20 server signing = Auto interfaces = 192.168.2.1 domain master = no security = share preferred master = no bind interfaces only = yes [CJ home] case sensitive = no guest ok = yes msdfs proxy = no read only = no path = /home/cj smbd and nmbd are running and set to run at startup I've also configured the LISa protocol and it, too is running This is my current configuration, but I've tried many different things along this journey - I'm sure I've overlooked something obvious, or screwed something else up, but I can't for the life of figure out what. I"ve tried a half dozen internet HOWTO's on the subject, and I've even printed out the 1100+ page Samba manual from their website. I can't see my Windows machines from the Linux box at all. One Windows machine sees the Fedora box, but can't access it - just get a 'denied' message. Windows boxes are properly configured and networking with each other just fine.
