If you are using the system-config-securitylevel tool, you might paste 
in the below information into the other ports field, then save the 
settings. This works for me. Hopefully nothing is missing here.

paste the below: - Scheme is port:protocol, nextport:protocol, ...)
443:tcp, 137:udp, 138:udp, 139:tcp, 445:tcp

port 137 should be udp, 138 is udp and port 139 is Tcp The port 445 is 
used for cifs (NT and works for very large files, tried with a file 
larger than 8 gig)
