I have a new MDK 9.1 server running iptables, pop, smtp, ftp, www, ssh, and trying tio get samba up on it. The box has two nic's in it. inside net is 192.168.1.0/24 the outside is a /28 net I have uip forwarding running and also shorewall. I also have an older Samba box running on the internal net. The problem is this. All the winblows boxes can see the old samba server but not the new server. They can get out to the internet through the new box so they are communicating with that box. This box is also acting as a firewall. None of the winblows boxes can get a ping answer from the new box either so Im wondering if this is a firewall issue. here is a copy of the log file for both the nmb and the smb. nmbd log: [2003/05/05 09:35:26, 0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(172) send_netbios_packet: send_packet() to IP 192.168.1.255 port 137 failed [2003/05/05 09:35:26, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name(360) register_name: Failed to send packet trying to register name CAD<1e> [2003/05/05 09:35:36, 0] libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(756) Packet send failed to 192.168.1.255(138) ERRNO=Operation not permitted smbd log: [2003/05/05 09:30:26, 0] smbd/server.c:main(707) smbd version 2.2.7a started.
