 Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 10:53 pm Post subject: Networking between Linux & windoze through a Linksys rou |
 |
|
Here is the deal. A while back I emerged samba so I could let my fiance store data on my computer, that way when windoze dies she doesn't loose anything and I don't have to move drives around. Anyway, I have it started and have tried to get it working but I think I am running into problems on the windoze side or with the Linksys router one. Here's the info:
Linksys router: WRT54G connected to a cable modem
One Gentoo box in sig below that is connected to port 2
One Windoze XP box that is connected to port 1
All is connected through ethernet cables, no wireless stuff.
Linksys is a default setup except that I did have to change the IP so it would see the cable modem. All this uses DHCP too. This is my Samba conf for what is shared:
| Code: |
[DATA]
path = /mnt/data/
hide files = Donna-windoze/
veto files = Donna-windoze/
veto oplock files = Donna-windoze/
case sensitive = no
msdfs proxy = no
hide unreadable = yes
[DOCUMENTS]
path = /home/dale/Desktop/Documents/
case sensitive = no
msdfs proxy = no
hosts allow = 192.168.100.*
hide files = DonnaIM/DonnaIM2/DonnaIM3/
|
Let me know if you need the whoooole thing.  Can someone help walk me through this? I think the Linux side is working. It's the other that has me puzzled. I'm not real big on windoze networking stuff, in case you can't tell.
Thanks for the help.

In what way does it not work?
Yes, please post the whole thing. (Better would be to upload it elsewhere and link it, if you can.)

It appears it is working from here, the Linux box, but windoze can't see anything. I feel like the router is not letting her computer 'see' mine for some reason. I know less about the router than windoze so I'm in a mess.
I don't have any way to host the file so here it goes:
| Code: | # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#
#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]
# 1. Server Naming Options:
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = WORKGROUP
# netbios name is the name you will see in "Network Neighbourhood",
# but defaults to your hostname
; netbios name = <name_of_this_server>
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server %v
# Message command is run by samba when a "popup" message is sent to it.
# The example below is for use with LinPopUp:
; message command = /usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s
# 2. Printing Options:
# CHANGES TO ENABLE PRINTING ON ALL CUPS PRINTERS IN THE NETWORK
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = cups
# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups
printing = cups
# Samba 3.x supports the Windows NT-style point-and-print feature. To
# use this, you need to be able to upload print drivers to the samba
# server. The printer admins (or root) may install drivers onto samba.
# Note that this feature uses the print$ share, so you will need to
# enable it below.
# printer admin = @<group> <user>
printer admin = @adm
# This should work well for winbind:
; printer admin = @"Domain Admins"
# 3. Logging Options:
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 50
# Set the log (verbosity) level (0 <= log level <= 10)
; log level = 3
# 4. Security and Domain Membership Options:
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page. Do not enable this if (tcp/ip) name resolution does
# not work for all the hosts in your network.
; hosts allow = 192.168.100. 192.168.2. 127.
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
; guest account = pcguest
# Allow users to map to guest:
map to guest = Bad User
# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
security = share
# Use password server option only with security = server or security = domain
# When using security = domain, you should use password server = *
; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
; password server = *
# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.
; password level = 8
; username level = 8
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
# Encrypted passwords are required for any use of samba in a Windows NT domain
# The smbpasswd file is only required by a server doing authentication, thus
# members of a domain do not need one.
encrypt passwords = yes
# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to
# also update the Linux system password.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only
# the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
# to be kept in sync with the SMB password.
; unix password sync = Yes
# You either need to setup a passwd program and passwd chat, or
# enable pam password change
; pam password change = yes
; passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
; passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Re*ype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n ;*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
# Unix users can map to different SMB User names
; username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting
; include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m
# Options for using winbind. Winbind allows you to do all account and
# authentication from a Windows or samba domain controller, creating
# accounts on the fly, and maintaining a mapping of Windows RIDs to unix uid's
# and gid's. idmap uid and idmap gid are the only required parameters.
#
# winbind separator is the character a user must use between their domain
# name and username, defaults to "\"
; winbind separator = +
#
# winbind use default domain allows you to have winbind return usernames
# in the form user instead of DOMAIN+user for the domain listed in the
# workgroup parameter.
; winbind use default domain = yes
#
# template homedir determines the home directory for winbind users, with
# %D expanding to their domain name and %U expanding to their username:
; template homedir = /home/%D/%U
# When using winbind, you may want to have samba create home directories
# on the fly for authenticated users. Ensure that /etc/pam.d/samba is
# using 'service=system-auth-winbind' in pam_stack modules, and then
# enable obedience of pam restrictions below:
; obey pam restrictions = yes
#
# template shell determines the shell users authenticated by winbind get
; template shell = /bin/bash
# 5. Browser Control and Networking Options:
# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
; interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
# Configure remote browse list synchronisation here
# request announcement to, or browse list sync from:
# a specific host or from / to a whole subnet (see below)
; remote browse sync = 192.168.3.25 192.168.5.255
# Cause this host to announce itself to local subnets here
; remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.44
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
; local master = no
# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
; os level = 33
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
; domain master = yes
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
; preferred master = yes
# 6. Domain Control Options:
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations or Primary Domain Controller for WinNT and Win2k
; domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
; logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
; logon script = %U.bat
# Where to store roaming profiles for WinNT and Win2k
# %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is username
# You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below
; logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
# Where to store roaming profiles for Win9x. Be careful with this as it also
# impacts where Win2k finds it's /HOME share
; logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile
# The add user script is used by a domain member to add local user accounts
# that have been authenticated by the domain controller, or when adding
# users via the Windows NT Tools (ie User Manager for Domains).
# Scripts for file (passwd, smbpasswd) backend:
; add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false '%u'
; delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel '%s'
; add user to group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -a '%u' '%g'
; delete user from group script = /usr/bin/gpasswd -d '%u' '%g'

; add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g && getent group '%g'|awk -F: '{print $3}'
; delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g'
# Scripts for LDAP backend (assumes nss_ldap is in use on the domain controller.
# Needs IDEALX scripts, and configuration in smbldap_conf.pm.
# This assumes you've installed the IDEALX scripts into /usr/share/samba/scripts...
; add user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl '%u'
; delete user script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userdel.pl '%u'
; add user to group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupmod.pl -m '%u' '%g'
; delete user from group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-groupmod.pl -x '%u' '%g'

; delete group script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-userdel.pl '%g'
# The add machine script is use by a samba server configured as a domain
# controller to add local machine accounts when adding machines to the domain.
# The script must work from the command line when replacing the macros,
# or the operation will fail. Check that groups exist if forcing a group.
# Script for domain controller for adding machines:
; add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false -M '%u'
# Script for domain controller with LDAP backend for adding machines (You need
# the IDEALX scripts, and to configure the smbldap_conf.pm first):
; add machine script = /usr/share/samba/scripts/smbldap-useradd.pl -w -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Account' -s /bin/false '%u'
# Domain groups:
# Domain groups are now configured by using the 'net groupmap' tool
# Samba Password Database configuration:
# Samba now has runtime-configurable password database backends. Multiple
# passdb backends may be used, but users will only be added to the first one
# Default:
; passdb backend = smbpasswd guest
# TDB backen with fallback to smbpasswd and guest
; passdb backend = tdbsam smbpasswd guest
# LDAP with fallback to smbpasswd guest
# Enable SSL by using an ldaps url, or enable tls with 'ldap ssl' below.
; passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.mydomain.com smbpasswd guest
# Use the samba2 LDAP schema:
; passdb backend = ldapsam_compat:ldaps://ldap.mydomain.com smbpasswd guest
# idmap uid account range:
# This is a range of unix user-id's that samba will map non-unix RIDs to,
# such as when using Winbind
; idmap uid = 10000-20000
; idmap gid = 10000-20000
# LDAP configuration for Domain Controlling:
# The account (dn) that samba uses to access the LDAP server
# This account needs to have write access to the LDAP tree
# You will need to give samba the password for this dn, by
# running 'smbpasswd -w mypassword'
; ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=mydomain,dc=com
; ldap ssl = start_tls
# start_tls should run on 389, but samba defaults incorrectly to 636
; ldap port = 389
; ldap suffix = dc=mydomain,dc=com
; ldap server = ldap.mydomain.com
# Seperate suffixes are available for machines, users, groups, and idmap, if
# ldap suffix appears first, it is appended to the specific suffix.
# Example for a unix-ish directory layout:
; ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts
; ldap user suffix = ou=People
; ldap group suffix = ou=Group
; ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
# Example for AD-ish layout:
; ldap machine suffix = cn=Computers
; ldap user suffix = cn=Users
; ldap group suffix = cn=Groups
; ldap idmap suffix = cn=Idmap
# 7. Name Resolution Options:
# All NetBIOS names must be resolved to IP Addresses
# 'Name Resolve Order' allows the named resolution mechanism to be specified
# the default order is "host lmhosts wins bcast". "host" means use the unix
# system gethostbyname() function call that will use either /etc/hosts OR
# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
; name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server
; wins support = yes
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
; wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes,
# this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no.
dns proxy = no
restrict anonymous = no
guest ok = yes
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
# 8. File Naming Options:
# Case Preservation can be handy - system default is _no_
# NOTE: These can be set on a per share basis
; preserve case = no
; short preserve case = no
# Default case is normally upper case for all DOS files
; default case = lower
# Be very careful with case sensitivity - it can break things!
; case sensitive = no
# Enabling internationalization:
# you can match a Windows code page with a UNIX character set.
# Windows: 437 (US), 737 (GREEK), 850 (Latin1 - Western European),
# 852 (Czech), 861 (???), 932 (Japanese),

Sorry so huge. I also tried setting this up through KDE. When I add a user and then go back to see if it worked or not, the user was not added. I'm not sure why. Any ideas on that? I did have to put in my root password to do that though. 
Thanks for the help.

What workgroup is her WinXP box in? They have to be the same for Network Neighborhood to work, I think.
EDIT: Does it work if you try to go to \\yourcomputername on her computer (using Windows Explorer)?

| It would help a lot here if you could provide a synopsis of the errors messages you receive on the Windows XP computer. That being said, I would definitely make sure that both computers are using the same workgroup. This isn't essential but it makes things easier. The other thing I would try is using the Windows search utility to search for your (samba) computer. I would search both by name and by ip address. |

What you all are saying is some good points, problem is, I don't know how to do this in windoze. I only use Linux and have never actually owned a copy of windoze, ever. I don't get error messages in windoze but it doesn't see my system either.
I have found a tutorial or two that tells how to set up samba and I did that. It just doesn't say much if anything about the windoze part. Between that and the router, I'm clueless. I think the Linux end is ready.
How do I see what the workgroup is and how do I change it? I did do the \\smoker once before but I don't remember it saying anything but it didn't find it.
Sorry I am so windoze ignorant. This is a Linux forums though.

UPDATE!!! If I go to the network neighborhood, it shows up as smoker. It won't let me in or anything but it says it sees something out there.
I did change the workgroup name in my samba config file. That seemed to help a lot.
Any more ideas? I need some.

Hi.
In your windows box, open the command prompt and type the following
| Code: | c:\...> net view \\smoker
c:\...> net view \\<smoker-ip-address>
c:\...> net use z: \\smoker\data
c:\...> net use y: \\<smoker-ip-address>\data |
Do you get any error? Can you see any files under z: or y:?
By the way, have you tested on your Linux box with smbclient?

Here comes my cut n paste.
| Code: | C:\>net view \\smoker
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
C:\>net view \\192.168.100.3
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
C:\>net use z:\\smoker\mnt\data\
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
C:\>net use z:\\192.168.100.3\mnt\data\
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.

But in the window under the network thing, it shows up as smoker. When I click it says it is not there. Weird. Maybe I need to reboot my Linux box?  Yeah, right!!
Any ideas now? This is to weird. I set a lot of this up with the KDE GUI. It appears that something is working on my end at least.
Thanks for the help.

Does anything show up in the samba logfiles when you try to double-click Smoker from Network Neighborhood?
You can set the workgroup name in WinXP by going to the System Properties control panel (Windows Key + Break; right-click My Computer, go to Properties; Or Start | Settings | Control Panel | System) and then the "Computer Name" tab (or something like that).

The following means that you have network resolution problems
| dalek wrote: |
| Code: | C:\>net view \\smoker
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found. |

I thought this should work, but I'm not sure anymore.

Back to the basics. On your windows host do:
| Code: | # ping smoker
# ping 192.168.100.3 |
Do you get any replies? Are you using any DNS or WINS server on your network? If so, did you remember to add smoker address to the servers?
If you can ping the linux host, can you do the following?
| Code: | # telnet smoker 137
# telnet 192.168.100.3 137 |
Do you get any reply? If not, in you linux host, what is the output of the following?
| Code: | | # netstat -an | grep 137 |

Well, some of it anyway:
| Code: | C:\Documents and Settings\Teresa>ping smoker
Ping request could not find host smoker. Please check the name and try again.
C:\Documents and Settings\Teresa>ping 192.168.100.3
Pinging 192.168.100.3 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.100.3:
Packets: Sent = 2, Received = 0, Lost = 2 (100% loss),
Control-C
^C
C:\Documents and Settings\Teresa> |
I figured since those didn't work, the others wouldn't either. Is it my Linux box that is blocking it or windoze? At least it sees it is there.
Thanks.

Do you have a firewall installed on your linux box?
How about on your windows box? |

I don't recall installing a firewall on the Linux box. She has McAfee on hers and I think the firewall is on. I'm not sure about her settings though. It is likely just default. However, McAfee usually pops up and tells her when a program is trying to do something different.
Is there any way to tell what is what? I don't see anything. Here is my list of what is running when I boot:
| Code: | root@smoker / # rc-update show
alsasound |
autofs |
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
crypto-loop |
cupsd | default
dbus | default
dhcp |
dhcrelay |
domainname |
esound |
famd |
folding |
gkrellmd |
gpm |
hald | default
hddtemp |
hdparm |
hostname | boot
hotplug | default
http-replicator | default
ip6tables |
iptables | default
ivman | default
keymaps | boot
lisa |
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
metalog |
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.eth1 |
net.eth2 |
net.lo | boot
net.ppp0.old |
netmount | default
nscd |
ntp-client | default
ntpd | default
numlock | default
nvclock |
pg_autovacuum |
portmap |
postgresql |
pwcheck |
reslisa |
rmnologin | boot
rsyncd | default
samba | default
saslauthd |
serial | boot
serial.old |
slapd |
slurpd |
smartd | default
sshd |

upsd | default
upsdrv |
upsmon |
urandom | boot
usermin |
vixie-cron | default
xdm | default
xprint |
zzfah | default
root@smoker / # |
Should I turn off her McAfee firewall and test this out for a bit?
I may be in and out for a bit. She is sick and we just got back from the emergency room. I'm playing nurse at the moment. Thought I would mention that in case I don't reply for a good while or something.
Thanks for the help.

| Posted: Wed May 31, 2006 1:15 pm Post subject: correct smb.conf |
|
|
(hey , i finally found that one user i always believed i'd never find: "i've never used windoze, only linux." grown up with a good os. GREAT!!)
ok,
on windoze:
1. turn off anything firewall-like on the winoze-box (3rd-party-products and the winoze-integrated one; i think there's some security-center or sth where u can turn it off)
2. (does she have xp prof or home version? because some opts might be different) somewhere among workplace->folder-options there is a way to turn OFF easy or simple file-sharing. turn it off.
3. in a comand-prompt (cmd.exe) type | Code: | | nbtstat -a <sambabox-netbios-name> |
or | Code: | | nbtstat -a <sambabox-ip-address> |
. the result of this will tell you if they can "talk" to each other (exchange names etc.)
4. check the windoze-eventlog
on the sambabox:
1. add a user that has the same name as the windoze-user, give it permissions on the respective dirs/files: the paths in the share-defs in smb.conf (unless you want to go really deep into samba and set up username-mapping, windoze-domainfuck and the like)
2. i suggest you set up a VERY BASIC smb.conf-file (the samba-online-docs are a very great help here, copy&paste) and, for testing purposes, use the most liberal permissions on everything (loal files/dirs and NO security-restrictions in smb.conf). use the samba-command very often.
about 20 lines should do what you want.
i think the main problem is your smb.conf (the one you posted); it has a lot of errors. e.g, the machine HAS to have a netbios-name (yours is comented out). don't confuse what has to be in certain sections. leave out the stuff you don't need or want.
3. if u use no dns-server it might help that both hosts' hosts-files have the same entries (yes, windoze does have that file :wink: ). the | Code: | | ping <sambabox-netbiosname> |
will not work until the sambabox is give a the right name via smb.conf ( or it's the same in the host-files, which is kind of pointless here).
4. sometimes it has helped to play with the parameter | Code: | | encrypt passwords = [yes|no] |
in the smb.conf.
in the samba-online-docs there is an easy guide; look around here: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html it has helped me many many times and i'm certain you'll get your setup running in no time.
(and you might check if your router/firewall in between lets the relevant ports pass (135-139, maybe 445 i guess)

I don't use windoze, she does. I'm mowing the grass so I will try this later when it starts to rain. Thanks for the info. Back later.

If I stop iptables it will retain the settings won't it?? We are gone to the neurologist today. I HOPE to be back later. Wish us luck.

Sorry so long. We have been having rounds with the Doctor. They seem to want to make a career out of figuring out what is wrong. Anyway, I stopped iptables and now it works fine. I guess I need to figure out what to do to get it to allow connections with iptables running.
Thanks for the help and again sorry for the slowness of my testing. Oh, webmin got installed too. Very cool setup there.
Any ideas on the iptables thing?? I have to warn you, we have another Dr's appointment tomorrow for a MRI and a heart test thing. They found out last week that she had a brain.  Now they want to make sure she has a heart and a neck.

Could you post your iptables rules (`iptables -L`)?

Sure. Here you go:
| Code: | root@smoker / # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID,NEW
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID,NEW
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@smoker / # |
I read the man page.  I guess I need to find time to read a wiki or something. I need more explaining on that one. I do get the http part though. That's a webpage.

It's your "DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID,NEW " rule, I think (in INPUT). I think that that will not allow any incoming connections to anything (except HTTP).
Try this (allows traffic on tcp or udp from 192.168.0.0/24 to ports 138, 139, and 445, and puts the rules before what I think is the problem rule):
| Code: | iptables -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 445 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 445 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 138 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 138 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p udp --dport 139 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 139 --source 192.168.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT |

I'll try that for sure. I think the way the other was setup was taken from a script I found to chare the net with other rigs that are connected to this one, well they were anyway. I guess he made it allow what was needed then told it to drop everything else. Secure I guess but to secure for what I am trying to do now.
I'll also try to "understand" what those mean when I type them in. I need to anyway. It took me a while on the route command too.
Thanks for the help.

OK. I tried that and I also tried changing the address to 192.168.100.0 but nothing but a error that I don't have access from the windoze machine.
Now I am trying to understand this but it is still a bit muddy. This is what it says right now:
| Code: | root@smoker / # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:netbios-ssn
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere udp dpt:netbios-ssn
ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:netbios-dgm
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere udp dpt:netbios-dgm
ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere tcp dpt:microsoft-ds
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.100.0/24 anywhere udp dpt:microsoft-ds
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID,NEW
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
DROP all -- anywhere anywhere state INVALID,NEW
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
root@smoker / # |
This is awful, it actually says windows. < Dale pukes > This is eth0:
| Code: | root@smoker / # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:53:81:00:E7

The highest IP the router uses is 192.168.100.4 if that helps. I also learned that iptables -F gives you a fresh start when you screw up.
If you have any ideas, let me know. I'll try to bang on it some more over here too. I'll try not to screw up anything the -F won't fix.
Thanks.
