I'd like to point out that MDK 9 DOES have some firewall issues - with
the built-in stuff - most users end up removing it altogether and using
a different package other than the one that comes bundled with MDK.

If you can manage to NOT install the Shorewall (or whatever it's called)
from the MDK installation, I think you might fare a tad bit better on
the initial setup of Samba...
...can't hurt to try.

I think that once your firewall issues are resolved, the next steps are
easy.
