Hi,I successfully installed Alfresco 4.2.d under Ubuntu 13.10 using IP: 192.168.0.200 (mbnoimi-virtual) and I can use the web interface without any problem through the network. But I can't access CIFS using Windows share.I tried to access CIFS by using theses ways but all of them failed!\\mbnoimi-vi

Hi
Please Configure the Windows Server firewall to create a rule to allow 137,138,139.

First of all, I don't use Windows server (I mentioned I use Win7 32bit); Second I mentioned too I turned off whole Windows firewall.

I tried to modify file-servers.properties under Ubuntu as following but nothing changed unfortunately!

cifs.WINS.primary=192.168.0.200
cifs.WINS.secondary=192.168.0.200‍‍

I never used it before. Usually I use Alfresco directly without any problem.

Do you think I've to use iptables under Linux to be able to use Alfresco's Windows share?

The result of my iptables on Ubuntu 13.10 (192.168.0.200) where Alfresco installed

mbnoimi-VirtualBox ~ # iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Yes/No
No => if u had started DM instance as root user u may not need iptables, and normal ports will do
Yes => If u has started DM instance as normal use. U need iptables to redirect the ports, because normal users cannot initiate port leser than 1024, since it is reserved

The corresponding port no which u use in IPTABLES also should be refelected in alfresco-global.properties

I started Alfresco from ROOT user. As I mentioned above. All the other PC on the network can browse Alfresco from web interface (http[://192.168.0.200:8080/share) while all of them can access CIFS of Alfresco which what I'm looking for a solution for it.

May you please focus with me. The server (Ubuntu + Alfresco) doesn't forbid anything because the iptables still fresh (as mentioned below) so this isn't a firewall issue it's clearly related to Alfresco configurations.

This issue still exists and I'm unable to use CIFS of Alfresco!

I found the solution; This issue happens because of samba conflicting so all what I did to fix it is un-installing whole samba from my Ubuntu then restart Alfresco.

sudo apt-get purge libsmbclient samba samba-common winbind‍
