samba - printers

[windoze13]

ok... i was having problems seeing windows computers on my network, i disabled the firewall and could see the other computers, but could not get it to see the shared printer. Do i have to manually enter the share name??? also i would like to have a firewall on... does anyone know the settings to allow samba to work but still have some protection???

thanks for all the help...

fedora core 2
kernel 2.6.8

will go to core 3 today with 2.6.9 :]

You can use a firewall with Samba, here's what mine looks like, I test it up thru webmin. As far as the printer goes, not 100% sure but browseable probably has to be set to yes for win clients to see it

# Samba
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -m multiport -m state -s 192.168.0.0/24 --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT --dports 137,138,139,445
# Samba
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m multiport -m state -s 192.168.0.0/24 --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT --dports 137,138,139,445
