Hi all!

I need to allow some M$ clients to access M$ shares on an NT server, the
clients and server being on opposite sides of a FreeBSD ipfw firewall.  The
firewall is running fine (has been for 6 months) but I cannot get this D**N
Netbios stuff going.

In my desperation I have gone as far as adding these two very loose rules,
which are the very first rules in the ipfw chain:
--------
/sbin/ipfw -q add 00009 allow log ip from 10.5.5.0/24 to 10.3.3.240
/sbin/ipfw -q add 00009 allow log ip from 10.3.3.240  to 10.5.5.0/24
--------

The 10.5.5.0/24 Subnet includes the client we are testing, and 10.3.3.240 is
the NT Server.  The 10.5.5.0/24 Subnet is remote across a VPN, but there are
IP tunnels in place so that the extra hops are transparent -> I don't THINK
they should be causing our problems.

When the Client tries to map the share on the Server there is a whole bunch
of traffic logged against rule #9, including ports UDP 137 and TCP 139,
going back and forth between the client and server.  The client is prompted
for a login/password, which we enter VERY CAREFULLY to make sure we got it
right, but thereafter the connection is refused.

Is this something about M$ security, or is there something else I am not
seeing that the firewall might be denying?

The only curious thing I have observed is the following lines in the
ipfw.log interspersed among all the "Accept" logs between these computers:
--------
Mar  7 11:16:08 eccles /kernel: ipfw: 65534 Deny UDP 0.0.0.0:68
10.3.3.240:67 in via rl2
Mar  7 11:16:08 eccles /kernel: ipfw: 9 Accept UDP 10.5.5.1:67 10.3.3.240:67
in via rl2
Mar  7 11:16:08 eccles /kernel: ipfw: 9 Accept UDP 10.5.5.1:67 10.3.3.240:67
out via rl0
--------

I believe ports 67 and 68 are used for DHCP - we are not using DHCP
anywhere, so I don't understand why this pops up, but I include it as it may
be relevant ?!?  Also, why is the source IP on the first line 0.0.0.0 ?

Anyone with some more M$ / Netbios expertise - PLEASE HELP.

Thanks, Patrick.
