[Gllug] Howto make Samba work on Suse10.1

[chanka perera]

Hi ,

you have to check your firewall rules, whether it has allowed netbios
/samba to allow from trusted local network,

send us your iptables -L out put.. or add rules accordingly. i don't
find any issue with your samba configuration files.
