I cannot find a suitable answer to this, and frankly, its quite mind boggling, how such a simple thing is still an issue with the current Firewall setup offered in OSX 10.5.6.

The problem is once you set the firewall setting from allowing everything to allowing only essential services, windows shares disappear immediately and there is no Application to add to unblock the samba ports for windows shares to be visible again.

Has anyone found a solution?

P.S. solutions to use instead of built in Firewall (3rd party apps that work well)?
