How do I configure Firestarter to allow NetBIOS name lookups

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 921 / 1 Year ago, tue, november 15, 2022, 4:59:22

When Firestarter is running (using default settings), I can't look up names of local Windows shared PCs (nmblookup fails with ERRNO=Operation not permitted). This also means I can't browse the shares with Nautilus.

When I click the "stop" button, nmblookup succeeds and I can browse the shares with Nautilus.

How do I configure Firestarter's policy to solve this?

(Firestarter is v1.0.3 under Ubuntu 11.10.)

Uninstall Firestarter, install GUFW. The default configuration of GUFW doesn't interfere with NetBIOS lookups.

Firestarter does not seem capable of allowing this, at least via its GUI.
