Add rules to allow samba traffic through firewall

On your network you'll need to allow samba traffic through your server firewall.  If you're using UFW then you can add the requisite rules by executing the following commands.  The below assumes an internal network address range of 10.0.0.0 → 10.0.0.255 (or 10.0.0.0/24 CIDR) so you'll need to change to suit your internal network if it differs:

Code Block
sudo ufw allow proto udp to any port 137 from 10.0.0.0/24
sudo ufw allow proto udp to any port 138 from 10.0.0.0/24
sudo ufw allow proto tcp to any port 139 from 10.0.0.0/24
sudo ufw allow proto tcp to any port 445 from 10.0.0.0/24

Restart smbd

For your changes to take effect, we need to restart samba.
