This is really old problem, and I did solved it once, but right now I have no access to that machine...
Anyway: SuSE 10.0 need to be a client to WinXP share. Samba client is configured. XP firewall is set OK. If I shut down SuSE's firewall, the network browsing works ok. With firewall enabled, no luck at all. I have allowed ports 135..139 and 445 on the firewall. Now, I can connect to the XP machine using it's IP address, i.e. from konqi smb://192..../ lists all the shares there. But only "smb:/" to browse for computer name does not work.
I googled a lot, and still all suggestions are to disable firewall??? or to use the IP of the XP machine.
So, can someone remember a solution?

OK, I can confirm that enabling TCP ports 137 and 445, and UDP 138 and 139 do allow me to connect to a share (if I know the IP), but not to browse the workgroup. I also tried to add port 137, 138, 139 and 445 in the "Broadcast" section for the external zone. It did not help. Complete disabling of the firewall allows me to browse the network, so I guess there is something else to be enabled, but I can not find anything in google, or in the mail archives, nor on SuSE KB. What have to be this mysterious port? Cheers Sunny
