But I know I have some problems with the yast printer module, problems that are now identified and solved or wontfix'ed. Specifically I use several Hp network printers. These printers are usually not found by the "search" yast function in the printer module. By now, the problem *is* the firewall. If I disable the firewall, the printer is found. I could discuss this with the firewall author and he assumes the firewall do his job and shall not be disabled by the yast module. So my solution is: * either disable the firewall ("SuSEfirewall stop" as root) as long as you search the printer, then write down the IP; * let run the firewall and type the IP in the search field, then test the server, it's found of course, in this case the problem being the firewall doing his job very hard, we can see this as wontfix. However, the yast printer module author added two or three warning messages about the firewall so nobody should now ask why it don't work. Given dhcp always use the same IP for always present hardware like printer, the problem is not large, I often stick a tape on the printer with the IP number ;-) (just verified in factory) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This bug has been present since 10.0 and exists to this very moment. Very few users have a network to test Network Services and for the same reason you have given me in your comment, is the very same reason why I haven’t bug reported it over the years... :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Steps to Reproduce: 1.I have a NFS Server running on IP 192.168.1.20 2.I setup a NFS Client and IF I enter the Servers IP above I see the directories. 3.If I use the 'Choose' button no NFS Servers are found in the first instance. THE FIREWALL IS NEVER THE PROBLEM - the error response is erroneous always, always, always. Actual Results: Every single server, client, or locate printer or locate host in Yast fails and has never work as tested on my network since Suse Linux 10.0 to current.

I've reproduced the issue you've reported, except the problem was the firewall. bestie:~ # rcSuSEfirewall2 status Checking the status of SuSEfirewall2 running bestie:~ # yast2 nfs-client # Here, YaST NFS Client could not find any NFS server bestie:~ # rcSuSEfirewall2 stop Unloading firewall rules done bestie:~ # yast2 nfs-client # Here it was able to find all NFS servers around If it doesn't work for you, there might be several reasons: 1.) NFS server doesn't reply for a broadcast 2.) Your firewall is on even if it says it's off 3.) Your router doesn't support broadcast or drop the packets somehow 4.) Your NFS client is in a different network to your NFS server and thus unreachable by brodcast You can easily check the packets going back and forth by tcpdump: tcpdump -n port 111 Run this command before starting YaST, then perform the network search and evaluate the tcpdump output. You should find one or more UDP packets sent from $YOUR_CLIENT.$SOME_HIGH_PORT to $NETWORK.255.111 And get one or more UDP replies from $SERVER.111 to $YOUR_CLIENT.$SOME_HIGH_PORT -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is yet another example of NFS Server/Client gone mad. In this test I created an NFS Server V4 with GSS Security Option and exported only one directory /home - nothing else. I opened a new black NFS Client, input the IP address of the NFS Server and hee's the kicker...The list of exported directories were the /home directory of the NFS Server which I did share but the directory above /home, which is /file_server, was also in the list and then the / - root directory of the whole file system above /home and above /file_server. The title of the image files shows exactly what the image files are about. The next test shows my standard NFS Server, NON V4, NO GSS Security, NO V4 options on exported directories. This test shows the result of a NFS Client V4, with the NFS Servers IP inserted and where the exported directories should be; the is just 'internal error' I am sure you needs logs for all the above which are available - Please be very specific is your request for the log files you need - I'll send them to you happily...I fell like Scrooge, wrecking everyone Christmas with all these bugs at suse.de -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
