Howdy all.

A brief description of the problem:

I would like to get a machine with a static IP, outside of the local
network, to connect to the PMFirewall machine via Samba

The config:

I have a Linux Box(Slackware Kernel 2.2.17) that has a static IP via our
ISP on eth0 and is hosting a local network on eth0:1. The local address
is 192.168.1.1. All of the machines on the 192.168.1.x network can see
the linux box just fine.

I have another machine that has a static IP assigned via our ISP running
Win98. I would like to get this machine to see the Linux box(Samba),
but I am not sure how to configure PMFirewall to do this.

What should I add in the pmfirewall.rules.x files to allow the Win98
machine to get through PMFirewall so it can gain access via Samaba?

Side Notes:

* The Win98 machine can connect to the linux box if PMFirewall is
disabled. So I assume that Samba is setup properly.

* Each time I try to connect to my linux box from the Win98 machine, the
PMFirewall log file shows a flood of DENYs from my linux box IP address.
I still don't understand this one?

Thanks for the help!
