I have a sun server sharing a file system via samba.



I can connect to this share using my pb and airport over my lan.



However when i try to connect to the (isp supplied) external airport ip address and port map (ports 137-139 inclusive) the samba connection through i get connection errors (-36).



I have sneaky supsicion that samba is netbios based which would mean it is not routeable by the airport. Anybody tried something similar.

    I've recently looked at the smb.conf file and if I remember correctly it does have netbios info and no port info. That's on OS X Server though, so Sun's implementation could be different (although I doubt it.)
