This is not the only problem. It's very hard to investigate why it doesn't work and how to configure it.
I can tell you from my own experience, that the only situation when I had Samba-Windows networking working, is when computers were connected directly by cable with static IPs.
Dynamic IPs and Samba stops working. It's even worse when you get a router or other device...
I tried many guides, asked many people, hanged on #samba irc channel and got nothing.
Actually the main problem with samba at opensuse is represented by out SUSEfirewall, which is not straightforward to configure and by the misleading settings in YaST (Open firewall in samba server module). Another problem is that you need to reset samba when a printing process on a shared printer gets stuck for some reason, and this is a lot more serious if users do not have admin power. Both the problems are very old (they were in SuSE 9.3, and still are there), but they don't make the situation so horrible as you describe in my experience :-) Regards, A. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
