Um, not forwarding, but opening. Forwarding would be what a firewall does,
once it accepts a connection, it passes it off to an internal web server, for
example.

Give this a shot:

iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp --dport 137
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp --dport 138
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp --dport 139
