Group,
Is there a text based, linux like, firewall application for windows?
I'm currently using the closest thing I found which is the (now
sunbelt owned) kerio firewall.
I find I cannot set things up so that all smb related traffic just
works. In particular printing with samba and cups fails even though
I set the originating host as trusted and specifically allowed print
sharing.
I want more detailed control of the firewall and to see all aspects in
a text file I can hand edit. I want to be able to try specific
settings and see the detailed result immediately in a log file.
Anyone here that can point me to a firewall app for windows with at
least most of the characteristics above, please respond.
The firewall issue may not be on the Windows side. To use a Linux
firewall w/Samba - If you do not have WINS on the network, then your
network is relying on broadcasted browser announcements for NetBios
resolution. Configure your firewall to allow NetBios broadcasts, with
UDP and TCP ports 137-139 open. You may also need to set Kerio to allow
this on Windows.
This site has an excellent firewall how-to -
