OK. This turns out to be a firewall problem, in that everything works
when I switch the firwall off. So suse firewall 2 is somehow blocking
nmblookup packets. Now, I don't know anything about configuring the
suse firewall, and the docs are written for ppeople who do know what
they are doing.
Can anyone tell me what I should change and where to make the suse
firewall work with nmblookup? It works with every other part of samba
already, and is configured to let through ports 137-139 on the
internal network (I think).

To: Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 3:19 PM Subject: [SLE] samba can't see windows shares I have a strange problem with Samba. Running under Suse 9.1, with Samba 3.04, I can browse the shares on a Linux box from machines running Windows 2k with no problems. Everything works as it should. But I can't see Windows shares (or for that matter, the Linux shares) from any linux file manages. I can, and do access windows drives using smbmount. But whenever I try, using conqueror, or the XFCE file manager, to see shares on the Windows machines, I can't find anything, and the attempt to see things manually, with nmblookup -M gives me a name_query error. Frantic googling turns up nothing helpful. Can anyone here help?
