Yes this is indeed ridiculous. Samba / Windows Shares browsing doesn't *NOT* work out of the box on openSUSE. The reason is that it's blocked in the Firewall by default.
Presumably Samba runs on a private network, which the firewall is intended to protect from the public network. Sounds like a Firewall configuration issue most of all.
Often the internal network is connected to the outside by a router(*) provided by the ISP (perhaps with WiFi), and can't be considered secure: thus the need for a firewall running on our computers, even on the "internal" network. (*) My ISP hasn't provided a single update for my router for years. Even if it is Linux inside, that can't be considered secure. It doesn't come "secured" out of the box: firewall disabled, common login/pass published on web pages... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
