SuSEfirewall2 uses iptables (a state-matching firewal). Browsing is done by sending a broadcast packet to a multicast network, clients return a reply which should be considered related to the already opened connection. But iptables evaluate that reply as a new connection and deny it. There is a possibility how to solve it but it might be a security hole: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-91024.html --- cut --- To browse smb shares from your linux system whilst iptables is running you'll have to load the "ip_conntrack_netbios_ns" module. This allows netbios broadcasts sent from your system back through the firewall: modprobe ip_conntrack_netbios_ns To have this loaded each time iptables starts add this to /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_netbios_ns" --- cut --- *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 223465 *** -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
