I'm setting up a small SOHO LAN with a mixture of Windows OSs, Linux
and BSD. My question involves setting Samba to use alternate ports other than 135-139 and 445. From what I've found on searching old archives by google, it may be possible but it likely to cause problems with the Windows machines. TIA. -- Cheers, Kurt |
