According to my notes from when I set up my Samba server, you need ports 137, 
139 and 1046 open.

I recall having problems with Windows machines being unable to find the server. 
adding an lmhosts file on each windows machine works but opening port 1046 is 
easier.

Gary put a short tutorial on firewalling on the NMGLUG web site at:
