How to open up ports in firewall for Samba

[heintze]

Can someone tell me the iptables commands to open up the necessary ports for Samba? I'm running fedora core 4 and after a mighty struggle I finally discovered that the command "/etc/init.d/iptables stop" allowed samba to work

I also need to open redirect port 80 to 192.168.1.4. How do I do that?

Hmmm... maybe this should be posted in a firewall forum. I also want to add additional IP addresses that my machine will respond to. I guess that is getting a little off topic.

Thanks,
Siegfried

I found your previous thread on this topic. It was exactly the problem I was running into(except with XP Home) and your fix worked great. I just posted another question on the Linux forum with a question similar to yours. Look forward to seeing any solutions.

OK-- I got it (I think). Firestarter 1.0.3 allows you to set up allowed protocols by ip address. I set that up to allow SMB requests from my XP boxes.

That seemed to fix all problems.

Best,
