Dear SUSE users:

I would like to use samba on my suse 9.3 box.
I have set up the samba shares through yast.  I also cheked 
the 'open port in firewall' option.
But when I want to browse the windows/samba network, 
clicking on the desktop icon 'Network Browsing', then on the 
'SMB Shares' icon in the upcoming window, I get the following 
error message:

"Unable to find any workgroups in your local network.
This may be caused by an enabled firewall."

I checked my firewall settings and made sure that Samba 
Server is allowed, furthermore UDP ports 138 and 139 are 
enabled.  Still can't browse the samba network.  I can't even 
see my own shares.
If I turn off the firewall I can browse the samba ahares and the 
samba network with no hassle.
So it seems that the culprit is the firewall but which setting?
I had no this type of problem in 9.1 and 9.2

Please help!
Thanks,
IG
