iptables advice

My setup:

Vmware Host (eth0) --- iptables (NAT) --- Vmware GuestOS (vmnet1 :: 192.168.101.0/24)


My iptables config:

Code:

# Masquerade all traffic (allow NAT traffic through VM Guest)
# vmnet1		host-only network		192.168.101.0/255.255.255.0

iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD --in-interface vmnet1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i vmnet1 -s 192.168.101.0/24 -d $SERVER_IP -j ACCEPT

I would like to access SAMBA (this sits on the Vmware Host) from within Vmware GuestOS.
e.g. \\192.168.101.1\SAMBA


I'm at a lost at how to configure the iptables to grant this access from the Vmware GuestOS.

Any help or recommendations will be kindly appreciated.

You must open the ports 137 - 139.

 

Awesome! All sorted ...
