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. -- Regards, Steve Goodey Colchester, England. mail-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stevegoodey.com http://www.bbcfactual.com Registered Linux user #372670 http://counter.li.org
