Hello i am new to samba protocol Our Client software used samba protocol If there is no firewall case , this protocol work properly from remote site. All of firwall configuration open ( this mean is all of port open ). Samba work very well, but if some constrain put in, it doesn't work. sent port number for samba protocol to my client. They said it doesn't work properly. May be samba used another port, please tell me more as soon as possible. I am so sorry about disturbing you. I sent following port 137,138,139,445 (tcp/udp) 143,161 (tcp) He opened these port, but samba didn't work.
