UDP 137, 138, and on TCP ports 139, 445
This is for win2k/xp
should be valid for 98/me too

someone know how to set those UDP ports on norton firewall.. I can only see settings for HTTP ports? And I can get smb working only when norton is disabled.

Dont use it... Switch to Zone Alarm, much better overall..

I remeber ZA 5 had a real huge CPU usage problem. Especially for those that fileshare. Did they ever get that resolved?

they will have almost certainly fixed it. I dont use a firewall coz of my router but I found Zone alarm was easily the best.
[rant start] Norton and Symantec are the biggest virus to ever hit the planet!!!! They make awful software that slows your PC down to a crawl, is expensive and impossible to get rid of!!!!!!! Will never recommend their awful software [/rant over]
