Take a good look at what you originally asked:

If you are using samba on an "internal" interface, by default, nothing
is blocked on that interface. I doubt it will do you any good to open
some ports that are probably already open, but here they are: all
netbios ports (137 to 139 incl.) and microsoft-ds (445).
If you are using samba on an external interface instead (ie. one that is
connected directly to the internet), I hope you have put some decent
security into your samba configuration.

In general, you will find it difficult to get answers if all you say can
be summed up with "It's broken."
