Many network operations do not work, as though they're being blocked by firewall.

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'm using F17 (XFCE spin, if it somehow matters). I have disabled SELinux and turned off the firewall using the GUI front end, but I still get "access denied" when trying to connect to Samba shares and NFS shares, and other things like the weather panel applet also can't connect to the internet. It acts exactly like I would expect it to act if all this stuff was being blocked by a firewall. But I can't seem to find exactly what's blocking it, or how to configure it. Any ideas would be appreciated. (HowTos)

[ubuntu] NFS and Firewall Issue 3 years 14 weeks ago

My file/web server is configured and running properly. I have no issues sharing directories via NFS until my firewall becomes part of the equation. But it's not as simple as it sounds...

I understand that I posted on this topic earlier Firewall Problem with Samba - openSUSE Forums, but I'm having problems when setting up Samba. When I disable the firewall, I am able to browse all the windows shares on my network. I have opened the ports as outlined in the link above.

I've recently upgraded a Fedora 11 install being used as a Samba server on a small network to Fedora 12 via preupgrade. Upon reboot, I was not able to connect to the server. I found that shutting down SELinux and recreating the (only) user for the server allowed connection to the shares.

Firewall that allows only smtp 15 weeks 4 days ago

I have a network that at the moment is isolated from the internet. We are going to connect it to an existing adsl line that has a firewall,but we want to add another firewall behind it as we do not have total control over the existing firewall. The only thing we want to allow is smtp access for one computer.

Running Fedora 17 x86_64. I have opened a few ports using system-config-firewall. After saving and appling the changes, the ports still are blocked. If I stop and start the firewall, things appear to be working. When the machine boots up, the ports appear to be blocked. If I stop and start the firewall, things work as expected.

Anyone see this type of behavior?

I used to be able to RDP to my work PC (Windows 7 Enterprise) whether it was on or off the domain.

Since the installation of Symantec Endpoint Protection (which turns on the firewall when the PC is off the domain), inbound RDP connections are being blocked when it's not on the domain.

However, I checked and there is a universal Allow rule for RDP in Windows firewall.

Obviously something

So what to do, I added port 139 like this site suggested.

with windows 7 firewall off, I can connect to server on another subnet, as this shows.

My ubuntu pc is on 192.168.1.103 and the windows 7 oc is at another router at 192.168.200.30
