How do I plug samba/SMB (for Win95/WinNT file sharing) through the firewall?

SMB uses 137 for the name service (UDP normally), 138 UDP for support services and 139 TCP for the session services. The only problem is that you won’t automatically reconnect to a share, you have to do it by hand every time (after the time-out, plug-gw disconnects you). You might need to add an entry to your c:\windows\lmhosts file (create it, if it doesn’t exist).
