Hi All, Just let me say that you have all been so helpful on this project that we are working on and thiat I really appreciate it. We have our systems behind a firewall and was wondering if someone new what ports Samba is using so that we can open them up to allow a few outside connections with our now working Samba? Also, I gather from my reading that regular windows users that are elsewhere on the internet should be abot to connect to our Samba server by something like in the "map a network drive" \\www.our.server\user would that be correct? Thanks again.

cat /etc/services | grep -i bios netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm 138/tcp # NETBIOS Datagram Service netbios-dgm 138/udp netbios-ssn 139/tcp # NETBIOS session service netbios-ssn 139/udp There may be some other funny ports which windows clients try to use on occasion, but you can monitor your firewall logs to see what if anything is being blocked.
