Samba and Firewall

I give up. I’ll just stop and start the firewall.
Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately not something I can replicate here. I assume that you’re not using SMB1 (NT1) at all?

BTW, is connection tracking enabled in your firewalld config? Check that helpers are enabed if required via ‘firewall-config’ GUI (if installed) via the menu: View > Helpers

Also, you can check using

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --get-helpers
