Hi Gerry,

Try looking at the firewall rules on your new Redhat 7.1 box. I have
recently reinstalled Samba on a Mandrake 8 box and the firewall rules were
so strict they did not even allow SMB ports (137-139) and broadcasts on
any interface, both of which are required for Samba to work.


Cheers,

Mark.
