[geeks] Irix port forwarding (SMB ports)

137, 138 and 139 are what you would be most concerned with. 
137 is the name service, 138 datagram service (network
neighborhood broadcasts) and 139 is netbios session.  135
(RPC mapper) is not necessary just for connecting to
remote shares and 136 isn't used at all.

Win2k can do SMB without netbios over 445 but you have to have
samba running via inetd to support this (-D daemon option
doesn't work with it, might be changed in the latest
version though). I've never tried it but i suspect this might
give better performance over a low bandwidth connection (no
netbios overhead).  In the past i have gotten crap performance
doing SMB over the net.  Not really made for that.  It
works.... kinda :)
