Sorry - I only check my email once a day I am puzzled - on my system, browsing just works.
1) My windows domain is PARKLANND So in the YAST | samba client configuration, Membership = PARKLAND (or in smb.conf [global] section, workgroup = PARKLAND) ( re updating DNS with DHCP, I do not have dynamic DNS configured on my network) 2) Have you got the all the samba daemons running? ie smb & nmb 3) Could you try specifying in the smb.conf file, [global] section,: name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast 4) Have you tried the windows approach - uninstall the Samba server and client, then reinstall?
