Hi Andy, Perhaps your settings in "/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2" are not right. # # 9.) . . . # Common: smtp domain FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="ssh 139 ..." # Common: domain FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="domain 139 ..." # Common: domain # # 12.) . . . # set to "yes" if this server is running a samba server. You still have to # open the tcp port 139 to allow remote access to SAMBA. FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="yes" # # 22.) # Allow/Ignore IP Broadcasts? # # If set to yes, the firewall will not filter broadcasts by default. # This is needed e.g. for Netbios/Samba, RIP, OSPF where the broadcast # option is used. # If you do not want to allow them however ignore the annoying log entries, # set FW_IGNORE_FW_BROADCAST to yes. # # Choice: "yes" or "no", if not set defaults to "no" # FW_ALLOW_FW_BROADCAST="yes" FW_IGNORE_FW_BROADCAST="yes" -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Bintintan [mailto:klodoma@ar-sd.net] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 8:08 PM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: [suse-security] SuSEfirewall 2 configuration - computer name problem Hi I saw there was a little discuttion about suse firewall and samba, but I have another problem here. First of all I'm new in linux, so sorry if I ask stupid things... everyone has to learn right? I have a server in LAN which is web, mail, db server. Samba is also installed. Everything worked fine, but when I activate suse firewall I cannot see the computer name anymore. I have access with samba, I can ping the server but only with the IP address of the server, not with the name. Shortly the server name is not recognized anymore. I waste a lot of time with this... and I couldn't find the problem. The strange part is that I installed the same configuration under vmware and it works fine. I activated port 53 (domain name) but still doesn't work. Please advise. Thanx in advance. Andy.
