According to the Firestarter GUI I've enabled SMB inbound which is supposed to open "137-139 445" (exactly as its displayed in the GUI); I read that as meaning 137,138,139, and 445 -- in poring over those rules I posted, I couldn't figure out how you adduced that I hadn't opened 138 - could you tell me what led you to that conclusion? Is something staring me in the face (perfectly possible). In any event, I did find some other 'issues' last night - in running system-config-network at some point, I got an error message about my hosts file; I found that the loop-back entry was configured 1127.0.0.1 and there was a line at the beginning of the file about not removing the following lines which didn't have a # at the beginning - fixed those. Left the firewall turned on when I went to bed. All is still up this am. But that also happenned yesterday... We'll see. Vikram is talking in his reply to your post about seeing something in the system-config-network GUI about ports required for SMB -- I don't see anything like that, so I'm not sure what he's looking at... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
