Hello folks! I can't seem to make samba and iptables work properly... $IPT = /usr/sbin/iptables # port fritz/samba 1) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 137:139 -j LOG --log-level DEBUG --log-prefix "SAMBA: " 2) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 137:138 -j LOG --log-level DEBUG --log-prefix "SAMBA: " 3) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 137 -j ACCEPT 4) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 138 -j ACCEPT 5) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 139 -j ACCEPT 6) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 137 -j ACCEPT 7) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 138 -j ACCEPT 8) $IPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -s 190.200.2.111 --dport 139 -j ACCEPT Line numbers 5, 6 and 7 seem to be logging some packets. But when I turn the firewall off and contact samba it works even if I turn the firewall back on. If I access Samba again after rebooting my computer it says... "Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use." Hope you can help me.
