137,138,139 tcp and udp will work, though I don't think all are used for 
both protocols. You may also need port 445. If you need more specific 
information, I'd be surprised if a google search didn't turn up the answer.

BTW, it'd be much appreciated if you could avoid replying to existing 
threads when asking a new question. It stuffs up threaded mail clients
that track the 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' headers. It's best to 
compose a new message instead.
