We used it as shared storage.
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why!-
I wanna build a linux network file storage.
It doesn't have to be a "samba".
..
I want to use my linux VM as network file storage from external client.
Last year (2013),
I setted up samba (@Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and It works very well.
but suddenly it doesn't work.
I checked those points.
#1 samba still work well in localhost
smbclient -L //localhost
#2 allow all hosts in smb.conf
hosts allow = 0.0.0.0/0
#3 allow 137, 138, 139, 445 ports in linux firewall (ufw)
#4 I already check VM End-point 137, 138, 139, 445
but it doesn't work. and tcpdump doesn't show any packet.
and I can find related thread.

Q: 'I would like to know if Azure will block port 137, 138, 139, 445? '
A: 'We block those ports by default. We are working on changing this policy. I will update this if there are changes made.'
and I can't understand the answer's meaning cause my poor english.
that means "I can't unblock those port. is it not available? "
and are there more detail reasons why block those port or list of blocked ports?
Thanks
