This should not depend on KDE. If other machines are not able to connect to OS
11, there is an error in smb.conf or firewall.

But of course you are correct, smb.conf and firewall should be examined.

Even so KDE4.0 and Samba don't play well together.

It's just that the network browsers available in KDE4.0 don't work for me even though CLI commands like "smbtree -N" work fine.

The comment of @sheininger I took to be conversational rather than a question about what's wrong.

Connecting to Samba via Gnome has been a pain as well. I think it has to do with the firewall. I've been going crazy trying to access my shares. I've set up samba before and I've never had it be so difficult.

[sheininger]

It isn't just KDE or Gnome that has problems in 11.0. I've turned in several other reports including items that are entered in Yast2 (such as IP ranges for the local network)and don't show up in the associated .conf, etc. files. I have other Samba issues also. 11.0 isn't ready for prime time quite yet, that's why my shop puts up test machines and plays before using a new release in production. I'm pretty excited about some things in 11.0 and like what I see and I am anxious to get it up, but we will definitely let a few more bugs get fixed before it becomes the production environment.

A new thread is called for here, the OP's problem appears solved.
