If you have a firewall on the new server that rejects access to
port 139, one would expect this behavior.

There should be a firewall setup program.  Make sure to allow access
to smb ports 137-138 and 445.

I've not used RH Enterprise 4, but Fedora, an offshoot, the rpm
is system-config-securitylevel and so is the command name to run
the program.
