What ports need to be allowed through firewall in order to access a remote machine via UNC file share?

Our TCOM team recently rolled out a new firewall which broke UNC access with machines on our internal network trying to access servers in our DMZ via UNC.  I was going to send a request to have these ports opened back up for a limited number of machines, but I can't seem to find a solid answer that tells me which ports are needed.  Do I need to allow ports 137, 138, 139, 445?  All of them, or only some of them?  Only from source to destination or both ways? Thanks!

This is kind of what I was talking about.  I've gotten a few different answers in this thread, and can't seem to find an article that says "If you want to allow UNC access between 2 networks you need these ports opened in this direction."  Thanks guys. :-)
