I am assuming that it is with AT&T. The server that I am "really" wanting Samba on for remote access is in my house running on a business class DSL. Supposedly AT&T doesn't block any ports and leaves it up to me to adjust my firewall. I have actually turned off my firewall and still can't get to it. I have tried telnet to each of the ports from remote locations with no luck. I have even tried from several data centers where I have servers. I tried setting up Samba on a couple of those servers in remote data centers and trying to go from data center to data center or from here I still can't do it.
