Hi folks, I think this is very well known issue. But still could not find a right solution for this till Now. (It's there in 9.2, 9.3 and even Fedora 3 and 4 for that matter) Here's the problem: I have SUSE 9.3 installation with samba configured. I have firewall running with ports 137,138 UDP and 139 TCP opened. All windows machines (2K and XP) in my home network are able to access shares and printer on my SUSE box. They can ping the box or browse the shares using DNS name ("Linux" in this case) But SUSE linux box cannot access any of these machines by their DNS names. Its not possible to browse and find computers from konqueror using smb:/ However I can access the windows boxes using their IP without any problems. If I turn off the firewall on Linux Box I can also access the windows boxes by their DNS names. I am not able to figure out which firewall rule is blocking nmb daemon's capability to browse the network. I am using YaST to configure the firewall. (Not familiar with backend - iptables) Can anybody tell me (or point me to) the solution for this problem. I am sure its just a matter of setting/modifying a rule in firewall. but not aware of what it is. Please note there is no firewall on any of the windows boxes. Thanks for help -Kshitij
