To enable a Windows share:

  1. Add a resource in which the public and internal host are the name of the share.

  2. Enable ports 137, 138, 139, and 445.

  3. Select TCP/UDP as a protocol.

If you are using an Active Directory domain, the name of the share should be the name of the machine suffixed by the AD domain. For example: \\machinewithshare.windomain.int\ShareName.

In this case, machinewithshare is the name of the machine hosting the share folders and windomain.int is the AD domain. The domain name to add as a resource would be machinewithshare.windomain.int .
