That's why I said "Probably nothing wrong with the iptables rules". I went on to elaborate that you do need to allow bcast for bcast name lookups to work... Like I said, have a look at the name lookups setup in smb.conf. What message does smbclient give you ?? Here's a good bcast namelookup: smbclient //mandingo/mandingo -U mandingo added interface ip=192.168.0.241 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.250 ( 192.168.0.250 ) Password: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.6] smb: \> exit This is without /etc/hosts entry for mandingo host. What say ?: nmblookup -B 192.168.0.255 shared1 Cheers, Michael
