I have tested this a few times now and it always seems to be the same. When I first boot-up the openSUSE machine cannot see anything on the network other than itself. I need to run smbtree for it to see other machines and then it continues to see then until the next reboot.
Is there some sort of computer browser service which I need to ensure is enabled and running?
Thanks,
Nick
I’ll assume you’re running openSUSE 12,1.
There is a problem for Samba in openSUSE 12.1. See the sticky at the top of the Networking forum.
Other than that, you need the nmb and smb daemons to be turned on; run this command to see if they are “on”:
su -c service nmb status; service smb status
systemd-sysvinit problem already fixed. Both smb & nmb daemons running fine. This seems to be intermittent, sometimes after boot the other networked machines are visible, sometimes not.
The only other problem I have is the findsmb errors which I mentioned in a different thread - http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet/474450-samba-setup-error-unable-find-suitable-server-domain-domainname-2.html#post2457024
