Re: [tlug] Ubuntu server, Windows 7 client, and the firewall between them



Romeo, Darren,

Thank you for responding.

I cleaned up the 192.168.0.1/24 entries in my firewall settings to say
192.168.0.0/24.

Not that I am going to discount any possibility, but if the problem was
with Samba, then wouldn't I never be able to connect?

Since I can always connect with the firewall off, I am thinking it must
be purely a firewall problem. Perhaps there's some more complicated
relationship I don't know about?

In any case, I tried the port listening thing, but got no response:

dave@example.com:~$ lsof -i :445
dave@example.com:~$ lsof -i :138
dave@example.com:~$ lsof -i :139
dave@example.com:~$

I don't know if these messages indicate a problem:

I have a log in my /var/log/samba directory that has the same name as my
Windows machine's network name, and it has entries like this, which look
kind of harmless (These probably happened when the firewall as off):

  dave-i3 (::ffff:192.168.0.6) connect to service share initially as
user dave (uid=1000, gid=1000) (pid 26819)

  dave-i3 (::ffff:192.168.0.6) closed connection to service dropbox

Got this weird entry in the nmbd log. Looked it up on the net, but so
far haven't found an explanation that I can understand.

dave@example.com:/var/log/samba$ more log.nmbd
[2011/02/15 00:44:45.151230,  0]
