Do you have the firewall set up?
Yes I am running iptables and port 139 is blocked but only for INPUT, not internal.
Ok, I took out port 139 from iptables and that fixed it. That should only block incoming traffic not internal though shouldn't it?
It depends; if you don't explicitly specify to have everything on localhost accepted, it will also block localhost.
