that is correct. And I know for a fact that NetBIOS-ns is in the services file because I've seen it, and I did try it both ways. Every time I try to connect using //myserver/shared1 I get the following log lines: Nov 26 20:22:11 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=64.122.31.38 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=32807 LEN=70 Nov 26 20:22:11 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:22:28 mail kernel: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:80:ad:c8:b0:a9:00:00:c5:81:21:44:08:00 SRC=63.241.23.201 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=48 ID=29779 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=45290 SEQ=0 Nov 26 20:22:29 mail kernel: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:80:ad:c8:b0:a9:00:00:c5:81:21:44:08:00 SRC=63.241.23.201 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=48 ID=29782 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=45290 SEQ=256 Nov 26 20:22:30 mail kernel: IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:80:ad:c8:b0:a9:00:00:c5:81:21:44:08:00 SRC=63.241.23.201 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=48 ID=29792 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=45290 SEQ=512 Nov 26 20:22:37 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=32807 DPT=137 LEN=58 Nov 26 20:22:42 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:22:44 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.2 DST=192.168.0.2 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=32807 LEN=70 Nov 26 20:22:44 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:22:44 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=64.122.31.38 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=32807 LEN=70 Nov 26 20:22:45 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:23:05 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=32807 DPT=137 LEN=58 Nov 26 20:23:09 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:23:11 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.2 DST=192.168.0.2 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=32807 LEN=70 Nov 26 20:23:12 mail last message repeated 2 times Nov 26 20:23:12 mail kernel: IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=64.122.31.38 DST=64.122.31.38 LEN=90 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=137 DPT=32807 LEN=70 and myserver is in my /etc/hosts as 192.168.0.2 (correct IP).

It may not be resolving the name properly through your /etc/services file. I don't see any other reason they should reach the log rule. If that isn't it, maybe you can post a few of the droplog lines for 137s? Also, I assume you are seeing 137 logged only when connection fails? j
