I’ve just reinstalled my openSUSE and trying to set up a network share. I’ve added a folder and configured it to be shared in YAST’s samba server module, I’ve disabled the firewall and from another computer (windows 10) I tried to access \192.168.1.100 (the Linux computers IPs) which usually works for me after setting up Samba shares but not this time.
My phone with VLC doesn’t see any shares either. I’ve checked the services and smb is running, so I tried accessing smb://192.168.1.100 in Dolphin on the Linux computer itself and it does come up with a list. So somewhere despite the firewall being disabled access is blocked to other computers? Please advice.
Thank you for the suggestions, turned out the firewall was still running. I had disabled it from booting but not shut it down. Going through the list of running services trying to find samba I suddenly noticed a running firewall. Shut that down and it worked a-okay. Which is confusing because the open port in firewall in the YAST Samba module wasn’t selectable - despite that firewall apparently running.
