ESTREET PINE
The Samba server is running on the local computer in this example. Shared directories and printers,
as well as servers in the workgroup, appear here. If the Samba server is not running, you see
Connection refused messages, and you need to start the Samba service as described earlier
in this chapter.
Firewall Open?
If the Samba server is running, it should begin broadcasting its availability on your LAN. If you try
to access the server from a Windows or Linux client on your LAN but get a Connection refused
error, the problem may be that the firewall on your Linux Samba server is denying access to the
NetBIOS service.
Chapter 18 covers firewalls.
If you have a secure LAN, you can type the following (as root user) to flush your firewall filtering
rules temporarily:
# iptables -F
CROSS-REF
744
Running Servers Part V
Try to connect to the Samba server from a Windows or Linux client. If you find that you can connect
to the server, turn the firewall back on:
# /etc/init.
