Samba and Firewall

[Shu Hung (Koala)]

Hello
I've been working on a Samba machine for a while.
Recently, I tried to turn on its firewall.
But my configuration to iptables is flawed somehow -- it is half right 
and half wrong.

Here is what I've done:
 - I used system-config-securitylevel to config new ports to open
 - I've opened ports   139:tcp, 445:tcp, 137:udp, 138:udp
 - I restart the iptables to load up the configs.

Here is the consequence right now:
 - As I reboot my client PC, I cannot connect to samba shared folders -- 
unless I stop iptables first
 - After I've connected to Samba once, I can connect to Samba as many 
time as I want to -- even if I start iptables again.

I guest one more port or something is responsible for the first 
connection to the server.
Does anybody have any idea?
