I’ve got my server mostly configured with Samba file shares - I can access from Linux and OSX computers. I’ve enabled Samba Clietn and Sambar server in the openSUSE firewall settings (on the server), but Windows 7 can’t seem to connect. I’ve been trying to tweak registry keys in Windows and such, but had no luck. However, when I turned off the firewall on the server, I was instantly able to connect. Is there some other service or port I need to open for Windows 7?

Got the firewall configured as on the screenshot and it works for me (sorry for the polish :P).
Best regards,
Greg

You need to go to YaST->Security and Users->Firewall-> allowed services
Allow the following three through the Firewall:
Samba Server
Netbios Server
Samba Client

Well, that explains the issue - didn’t have netbios open. Did that and it seems to work now. Thanks all!
