It is probably worth mentioning that, by default, shorewall
silently rejects SMB and NMB traffic:

  $ grep -e 135 -e 137 -e 445 /etc/shorewall/common.def
  run_iptables -A common -p udp --dport 137:139     -j REJECT
  run_iptables -A common -p udp --dport 445         -j REJECT
  run_iptables -A common -p tcp --dport 135         -j reject
