Samba was running, but I didn't have anything configured to use it.

I think Samba uses UDP 127 or so. Is there a way to see logs of who might have made requests to that port in /var/log somewhere?

I doubt that even without IP tables, Ubuntu out of the box lets people come in through a port and start doing shit.

I have a NAS box on my wireless router. It's from Buffalo, they make good external hard drives. I had had bad results with trying to hook up a NAS box, I couldn't get it to work, but I took a chance on the Buffalo. It was $120 at Micro Center, for a 1GB. Plugged it into the router (you have your choice, plug it in with eithernet to use it as a NAS on your network; plug it into your computer with USB to use it as an external hard drive), it asks the router for a DHCP assignment. I go in to the NAS's website just by typing its IP address. I assigned it its computer name (BUFFALO), and its workgroup (ROBINSON).

I had the router assign it the DHCP address permanently so its IP will always be the same. So now, any time I want to reach its control panel, I can just type Buffalo into the Firefox address bar, it comes up and asks for its username and password. Then I can manage the buffalo through the web. When I want to access files on it, I just refer to it as \BUFFALO and the subdirectory to work with the file, most programs handle this as easily as they'd handle a file on C:

Anyway, I wanted to see what happened, I used a $9 Tenda wireless adapter and the software, and was able to hook up my Macintosh onto my network. I turned on Windows Networking (which is just Samba, of course, but most people wouldn't know what it meant), and the Mac recognizes the Buffalo, only problem is it won't allow you to stop at the root directory and then choose one of the directories to work with, you have to pick a directory, and then it will mount that directory as a symlink, but the connection is absolutely seamless, the directory looks just like a mounted hard drive, and you can access files on the Buffalo on the Mac like anything else.

I don't think Samba uses anywhere near as much processor time on the Mac as it's doing on yours. As to what's misconfigured, I don't know what you can change. But that's my 0.02 Euro.
