Newbie question here, but... I have this suse 10.0 box with samba enabled, which works fine as a server. However, when I try to see windows machines in the workgroup, I get nothing, and when I try to connect to a windows share in Nautilus, it crashes on me. When I turn off the firewall everything works fine, but for obvious reasons I don't want to live with that. I tried using YaST to configure that firewall under allowed services, but there are no built-in options that seem to apply, and I do not understand how the "advanced" window is supposed to work. I already have port 21 and ftp in there, but I just don't see how you add additional ports there. I tried this format I found somewhere:

iptables -I INPUT -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -p tcp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT

with port 137, 138, and 139, and things are still just as bad as before...

So how do I make this work?

Try opening up UDP ports 137,138 as well as TCP port 445. SMB/CIFS started using port 445 as of Win2k.

OK, I tried that, and it still does not work. Finding everything with firewall down, nothing with firewall up.
