[Samba] Samba 2.2.7 on Red Hat 8.0 and Windows 2000

[A. Rosina Bignall]

Yes, it sounds like the same problem I had as well.  Try opening up your
firewall completely.  Once you get samba working, set up the firewall
again.  I set mine up so that my ethernet connection (device eth0) is
trusted.  Redhat has made it easy for basic configuration of the
firewall using the Security Level editor (from the System Settings
submenu if you use the standard setup Redhat ships or
redhat-config-securitylevel).  Using that tool, set the Security Level
to "No firewall" verify that samba is working as expected, then figure
out what you want your firewall to be set at.  Mine is set at "High",
then I customize so that eth0 is a trusted device.  Alternatively, you
could allow incoming to the port samba uses, but I haven't tried that --
given that I just have two machines that only I use, trusting eth0 is
good enough for me ;).
