Hello,

I wonder if someone could help me with a LAN browsing problem?

I have Mandriva 2006 on a PC connected to an adsl router/firewall. Also 
connected to the router is a WinXP machine. Being a bit paranoid I also have 
the software firewall running on the Mandriva machine. 

Using MCC, firewall if I tick the Everything (no firewall) box I can see the 
other PC using smb://home with no problem. If I remove the tick in everything 
and tick Windows file sharing (smb), smb browsing fails with 
error message could not connect to host for smb://home.

What port do I need to allow through the firewall to allow this?

Google suggests port 139 but haven't I allowed that by ticking the Windows 
file sharing (smb) option?

Thanks for any suggestions/comments.
