IPFW/Samba does not work with WinXP (but with MacOS 10.3)

Yes - that's my understanding too. I'm trying to let all local traffic
(i.e. on the same network) through with this:

# Allow any traffic to or from my own net.
${fwdcmd} 400 pass all from me to ${net}:${mask}
${fwdcmd} 500 pass all from ${net}:${mask} to me

Anyone with any other thoughts?
