Hey PhB, I'm using yast to configure my firewall. In the firewall modul of yast I opened the ports 137 138 193 (tcp and udp) in the "extern zone" and in "demilitarized zone". Unfortunately the firewall still blocks the samba-client. Is it maybe possible to reset the firewall back to the standard settings? Maybe this could help.
