It would give an idea if its a firewall problem or something else. ------------ I can get to the ports from the local network, but not from a remote network. I have some other servers in different Data centers around the country. I turned on samba by "service smb start" and turned off the firewalls. The same thing happened with them. I was able to access them from the local networks, to that server, but not from remote networks.
