[Samba] Trouble with iptables and connecting to Samba
Hi, I'm new at Linux and I've got a problem with Samba and the settings of my iptables. I'm using Bastille scripts to configure my iptables. This is the problem: when the iptables are 'up', I can't connect to Samba from a Windows machine in the local network. The Windows machine simply can't find the Linux server on which Samba is running. When I 'drop' the iptables, the local windows machine can find the Samba server. Then, after I restored the iptables, the Windows machine still can find the Samba server. But when I restart the Windows machine it can't find it any more. Obviously the iptables are blocking something, but I don't know what. I put in some rules of which I think allow connectivity from the local network on ports 136 to 140. Can anyone help me whit this problem? Jeroen v.d. Westelaken EXEcute-IT E-mail: j.westelaken@execute-it.nl Internet: execute-it.nl
