Description

I found that the firewall prevent ntp from working.
Fixed by adding

# Allow ntp
-A INPUT -p udp --sport 123 -j ACCEPT

into iptables.up.rules.

It also seems that the firewall prevents netbios name resolution (so that we can open smb://mister/fat in nautilus) but I could not find a fix.

Research direction

Start with iptables.up.rules and review the existing firewall rules related to UDP port 123 and NetBIOS name resolution. Reproduce the NTP and smb://mister/fat behaviors, then verify that the required traffic works without weakening unrelated firewall rules.
