134.91.239.0. i have managed to firewall my local net and access the
internet with iptables but i want to share some files via samba. but my
samba connection is not going out. i am using

solve my problem. any help is welcome

You might want to add 135, IIRC.
you can enable iptables LOG as last rule to see what packets get droped to
find the culprit.
Or maybe iptraf

	You would have to have appropriate ACCEPT statements in the
	lan table --- cant tell why its not working since you haven't listed
	the lan table.
