Actually, you need to open the following ports as destination ports to
your system or network:
udp port 137
tcp port 139
tcp port 445
If you're using a router, you might /also/ have to open those three
ports as /source/ ports as well. That might seem redundant, but I've had
my router route traffic to/from these ports through other ports. I
checked this out with ethereal.
Anyway: clear traffic through those ports to/from your system/network,
and samba will connect without worry.
