SAMBA and Vista

[rossiv]

Is SAMBA in PIAF compatible with Vista? Every time I try to connect to it, it says Windows can not connect to \\PBX.
PIAF 1.3, Asterisk 1.4.21.2, FreePBX 2.5.1.1, Windows Vista Ultimate

Vista has an unpredictable firewall built in to the machine. Make sure both inbound and outbound are open on the "Vister" box.

There is not a firewall blocking the connection on the Vista end, because I can get to other computers on my network just fine. Do I have to do anything on the PIAF end?

Thanks, Ward. Those helped.
I also had to configure the ports in the IPTABLES to get it to work.
