I can access it locally, but not from a remote server. I have even turned off the firewall altogether, but that didn't solve the problem. My samba is setup to allow from any host and not deny from any host. The errors that I get from remote hosts is connection timeout. I can connect by other means, ftp, ssh, etc from the other hosts, so at least I know that the physical server that Samba is on can be reached. I have tried connecting from windows servers and from Linux servers, but unless it is in my own local network of computers and servers here, I can't connect. The other Linux and windows servers are all in different states (so of course, different networks). Any help would be appreciated Thanks SteveTry telnetting to ports 135 137 138 139 and 445 on the samba server from the remote server. 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. Thanks Steve
Firewall may be off on the boxes running Samba, but routers between you and the remote boxes may not be letting traffic through.
