Netbios(137) lookup from ASL Firewall to Win98 Clients.

Octavia
Hi,
I want to do a netbios lookup to port 137 (netbios-ns) from my ASL firewall to different Win98 computers on my subnet. I'm planning to use a tools from SAMBA (nmblookup) to find netbios name on these Win98 computers, but it is not allowed to do this kind of lookup from my ASL firewall (1.825). Does anyone out there have any suggestion ?? (I have added rules to allow netbios (traffic) from ASL Firewall to local subnet, without any success.) Any tip ??   [:S]  

Hello Astaro admins????

    I don't recommend messing with your Astaro box unless you are a badass.

    I especially don't recommend putting any sort of smb oriented stuff on it.  It is a dedicated firewall and in my opinion shouldn't have services added to it like that.  Unless you fully understand the inner workings of the things you are talking about you can easily make your box useless as a security device.

    I would recommend finding a different way to do your logging and name resolution.

    DNS is the way to go over WINS in my opinion.
