iptables stopping samba?

OK, I've figured it out.  With the firewall on, it was failing right 
after the server was sending back the netbios name service response. 
The client end was sending a reject with icmp-host-prohibited.  That's 
exactly what my iptables was telling it to do.  Because UDP is stateless 
the ESTABLISHED,RELATED match didn't work.  So if I enable UDP traffic 
"from" port 137 the NBNS packet will be received and it all works.

Thanks,
