The ports samba needs open are 138 and 139. Also, I don't see why you want to use hosts.allow/hosts.deny with samba, since you can do all of that with smb.conf. Here is a part of my smb.conf. # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict # connections to machines which are on your local network. The # following example restricts access to one C class network and # the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see # the smb.conf man page ; hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. Hth.
