------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-22-10 01:00 ------- It seems that machines that respond to SMb NetBIOS name query broadcasts do so by fire-ing UDP packets _from_ port 137 _to_ a random port, not the reverse... BTW, I suspect that this might also affect the operation of lisa service. So if the user needs to have access to network neighborhood with simple netbios broadcasts instead of a WINS server, DrakFirewall has to also add those entries to Shorewall's /etc/shorewall/rules file. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Mandrake is frequently used as a SMB server with use of Samba. The list of ports that need to be passed through for the SMB protocol to work lists 4 ports, and it's not very easy to find this list on the Internet. Those ports are: 137/udp 138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp So anyone who would like to open SMB using drakfirewall, would have to click "advanced" and type: 137/udp 138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp This is far from intuitive of course, even for advanced power-users who want a personal firewall on their workstation and filesharing with Windows at the same time. I propose that an additional checkbox be added to drakfirewall, "SMB", that opens those 4 ports on the firewall.
