GUFW - SAMBA - Windows 7 Shares

[Executioner]

Having the GUFW (Linux Mint Fire Wall) enabled, does not allow me to view my windows 7 shares. I thought it was a SAMBA issue, but after I disabled the firewall, I was able to see my windows 7 shares.

Since I have now turned the firewall off, how can I enable it, and have it ignore my Windows 7 shares?

I'm using Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon x64.

I'm not 100% sure. I don't have a Windows 7 box to test against but my Windows Server 2008 R2 doesn't give me any grief. It just works.

You can try some of these suggestions though. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=59066

Samba runs on TCP ports 139 and 445 and UDP ports 137 and 138. If you want to run a Samba server, the firewall on that box would need to be open to allow those ports in.

So simply run sudo ufw allow tcp 139,445 and sudo ufw allow udp 137,138 and you're done.

Your first link worked! Thanks! I spent hours searching for something simple, and never saw that solution.
