setup samba problems on slackware 10.2

[carlosponti]

I can see the workgroup i setup but my slackware box doesnt show up in the workgroup with my two other PC's. Any ideas?

Not much info here to go on but I'll take a shot. May be a Firewall issue which is often the cause IF everything else in the Samba configs are correct. Shut down the firewall(s) and try it.

that ended up being my problem. now how do i pass through on iptables smb nmb traffic.

Depends on what firewall you are using. If it is something fancy as firestarter or guarddog, you can go to the settings and enable the service or add a trusted ip. If it is a custom made firewall script you will have to use iptables manually. I suggest doing man iptables anyway.
