[stunnel-users] Vista not connecting to port 139

Hi Neil,

I don't know about Vista ... But in older versions of MS Windows it's
not possible to map any services to port 139.
The way around it is to create additional loopback devices and then
reach the share on those.

I have attached a little doc I threw together way back when we were
looking into using Stunnel to encrypt SMB traffic.

Alaric:

This is strange.  When I go to the Security Center, it says the McAfee
Personal Firewall is on, but I can't find it in the Start menu,
Services, or anywhere else.

Any ideas?

Thanks,	
	Neil

I would check the windows firewall, or any other security suite you may
have.

Hello:

I am trying to map a network drive over an stunnel connection.  The
server is Linux and the client machine is Windows Vista (Ugh!).

I have stunnel installed and working.
I have the following in my stunnel.conf:

client = yes
delay = yes

[netDrives]
accept = 222.222.222.222:139
connect = www.jammconsulting.com:2139

When I go to map the network drive on vista, I use this
command:
 net use x: \\222.222.222.222\MyShare mypass /user:myuser

It eventually gives me an error message about network path not found.

Looking at the stunnel window, there are no messages about any
connections to the stunnel.

If I do:
	telnet 222.222.222.222 139
the telnet session connects and I see messages about a connection in the
stunnel window.

Any ideas why Vista is not using port 139?

Thanks,
	Neil
