[opensuse] Browsing Samba shares

I have been experiencing this problem since updating to openSUSE 11: I cannot browse Samba shares in my network. I can mount them, when I know the exact path and IP address but can't simply list them (in SMB4K for example). The problem is caused by the firewall and when it's turned off everything works fine. Has anyone encountered a solution? Which holes should I punch in my firewall? -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's already there. And sharing files works fine, it's browsing shares on other computers from openSUSE that is failing. -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

ohh, I think I understand, and I had this problem to accessing the Windows shares. It has to do w/ reverse dns. What I did was put the windows machine (I use static IP's on certain machines) in /etc/hosts and then I was able to access the shares. -- Michael S.

If I remember correctly, for you to browse other shares/files, your machine should be able to accept specific packets. Try to place this on your SuSEfirewall2 file: FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="137:139" FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT="0/0,udp,,137:139" Then restart your SuSEfirewall2 I remember a few years back, SuSE used to have an option on the firewall to allow a Samba Client. Now that that option is gone :( you have to configure the firewall manually. Hope it helps. -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/ Veni, vidi, Linux! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not really, my tab simply contains more options (see attachment) for some reason. -- skx, http://skxpl.eu.org

I think Paul may be using openSUSE 10.x with KDE 3.5. I am using 10.3 with KDE 3.5 on my desktop PC here and my firewall broadcast config looks like that. My laptop runs openSUSE 11 with KDE 3.5, and that has the same broadcast options as skx. So my guess is it's a version difference. Can you guys confirm? HTH, Joop

I can confirm. All my 10.3 machines exhibit Paul's options. All my 11.0 machines exhibit skx options. Both are using KDE3.5
