I don't know a lot about this stuff, so I may have to just read a book, but maybe this question has a quick answer. I have samba running, and I also have bastille-firewall set up on my box. What ports need to be open for my windows box to talk to my linux box? I can see my samba server in my network neighborhood. When I take bastille-firewall down for a minute, I CAN connect to my samba shares.
