I installed alfresco on debian lenny using the below alfresco installer:
alfresco-community-3.4.b-installer-linux-x64.bin
I can get to the alfresco web interface at http://<server ip>:8080/alfresco
I'm having trouble interacting with smb/cifs locally on the server or remotely from a client:
I get the below timeout error when I'm logged into the server and I try to interact with smb/cifs or when I'm logged into a desktop computer running Mac OS X or Linux and I try to remotely interact with alfresco smb/cifs.
I've created a few users in the web interface. All I'm trying to do is connect to smb/cifs and interact with the files and see that it works.
What could cause this?
Is this a configuration issue?
What do I need to configure?
Where should I look to troubleshoot this?
alfresco.log doesn't show any errors

same issue
I can't telnet to the CIFS port from outside the server, it seems like a firewall issue almost…very weird!

add/edit this to your alfresco-global.properties
also look at the end of this post: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36591
This allowed my CIFS to work from Windows and OS X with Alfresco running on CentOS server
