If you have any XP systems in the network you must also enable port 445 on TCP.
The port 1024 reference someone mentioned is in error.
No, it wasn't. The actual reference was to udp port 1024: which is shorewall shorthand for 1024 and up. If you are not aware of the use of this in the windows environment you can read up on RPC, DFSR, TrkSvr, and MSDTC services here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832017 The larger your domain (most especially if you USE a domain at all) you need to allow egress on udp and tcp to the from the server to the local network. In a simple home network without a domain you can get by without these. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
