It took a while for me to get back to this...
I disabled firewall on WinXP system and tried (note NL, this time)
smbclient -NL //[XP computer name]
It worked! I checked firewall settings and "File & Printer Sharing" was
listed, but with firewall enabled, I get a "connection refused" from
smbclient. Under WinXP firewall details, I see:
TCP 139 & 445
UDP 137 & 138
Any idea what to add to firewall to make this work?
Also, will it be a problem if I want to do anonymous connections?
