That's pretty much the same set I'm running on my samba PDC (which is <BR>>
behind a firewall), although I can say that you do -not- need the UDP <BR>>
port 445 (445 only uses TCP).<BR>> <BR>> Additionally, I believe you only
need 1512 open if this system is the <BR>> network's WINS server.<BR>>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for mentioning this, the word firewall
