The PDC is running SuSEFirewall2. The XP machines are running Zone Alarm. I have opened ports 137-139 for internal hosts. As far as I know, that's all I need. Are you suggesting I try shutting down the firewall on the PDC? Shutting Zone Alarm didn't help. That makes sense though since configured ZA to view my internal network as a trusted zone.
John, when I was trying to get 2.2.8a working, I noticed in the documentation that samba (now?) also uses 445 tcp, so that would be udp 137, 138 and tcp 159, 445. I can't say whether this will fix your problem. I am presently running samba 2.2.5 (see separate thread for my question/problem w/ newer versions), and have one user using XP pro on our network with NO problems. Since his XP seems to release its dhcp lease every time, I had to give it a fixed address, so it is not using DNS but hosts and lmhosts.
