Hey, I've got a couple questions regarding windows / netbios / smb or whatever it actually is. I'm guessing this is a pretty commonly asked question, but I spent a couple hours looking for an answer but I didn't find one. So feel free to point me towards any documentation on the matter. :) I've got a new computer we're setting up as a firewall, it's FreeBSD 4.3 using IP Filter 3.4.16. Everything has been working fine for me on my unix workstation, and today I asked one of the NT guys here to put his box behind the new firewall and see what he thought. For some reason he can't access any of his windows file shares on the other side of the firewall. He can ping the windows computers, just not access any of their file shares. He tried using both their netbios names and their ip address, neither worked. Ipf right now doesn't have any filters loaded, so the computer passes packets back and forth freely. I thought the firewall would just forward the packets on to the windows computer, but apparently I'm missing something.
