edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 (You'll need to be root)

Find this section and add 6881


# Which UDP services _on the firewall_ should be accessible from
# untrusted networks?
#
# see comments for FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP
#
# Example: "53"
#
FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="6881 ipp netbios-ns"

You'll need to restart the firewall for changes to take effect

(as root) SuSEfirewall2 stop
then SuSEfirewall2 start
