samba - Feb 2004 - Samba and firewall

Hi Everyone,
 
I'm new to Samba. I have setup a samba server (Redhat 9) in the internal
LAN and a samba client (Win2k) in the external LAN. There is a firewall
between these two LANs. My problem is I cant see my workgroup in the
client Microsoft Windows Network window. I have open 139, 445 tcp ports
and 137, 138 udp ports. I have open 901 port as well.
 
Before this I have tried connect to the Samba server from another Samba
client (Win XP) in internal LAN. It works well. How to configure my
samba server or firewall to enable me to access to the Win2k samba
client in the external LAN? Hope somebody reply me.
 
Thanks.

Kenneth, 

Thanks for your kind reply. I have opened all necessary ports for
unicast traffic.

Do SAMBA works if one of the server is using a translated IP? Meaning to
say physically both machines are of different subnets, and one of the
machines is translated through the firewall to the other machines
subnet.


Regards, 
Wendy

You have to allow unicast traffic to udp port 137.

If these two LANs are subnets you must setup WINS or DNS too.

You might have to open both tcp and udp port 135 if you are using
spoolss as well.

You don't need 901 unless you are using SWAT.
