[Samba] SAMBA problem

[Mohammad Noman]

 This is what i did to run a samba file server on linux.  I installed liux 8.0 server installation (all packages, selecting security to be medium, no firewalls).  After linux was installed i checked samba was already installed along with it.  I created user accounts and port them to samba,created smb.conf (and directories to access through samba like public).

 i understand that linux box is somehow rejecting the connection when windows tries to connect it.  But I couldn't find any instructions on how to enable port 137 and 139 for samba.  Only thing i find is to run smbd -D and nmbd -D.
This is what i see if i run netstat -a.

[root at terran samba]# netstat -a

those ports. So, what is the fireall on your linux machine doing?
