Since you are talking about managing your iptables configuration via shorewall you should probably ask your question on that list....but.... Yes, both the samba protocols as well as the NFS protocols require that a given set of ports be opened on your firewall. The ports in question are all listed in the shorewall documentation. In what area do you need clarification? You seem to be saying that everything is working but you are getting dropped packet logs. It would probably be helpful if you posted the log entries.
