    Have several problems that I cannot solve in the above matter.

    1. When I do the samba client setup with the firewall running, I get a
    message that samba client detected and that port 139 must be enabled. At
    this time, samba cannot find the domain. I go to the firewall
    configuration and enable port 139. Still same thing. I have to disable
    the firewall in order for samba to work. Why does enabling port 139 not
    work or is there something I am missing?

    2. With Samba working, and after setting up Lisa and windows share tabs
    in control center network per the info on the suse dataabase, when I
    click the local network icon on the desktop, konqueeror opens with the
    smb:/ and a libsmbclient reported an error, but didn't specify what the
    problem is. This might indicate a severe problem with your network - but
    also might indicate a problem with libsmbclient. If I replace the smb:/
    with lan:/ then I get a listing of all of the computers on the network.
    I click on the computer name, then the smb folder, I get a dialog box to
    login. One time would not be so bad, but every folder under that then
    gives another login dialog box. I would have thought the windows share
    config should have taken care of that. I even put the alias in the
    smb.conf file and setup the passwaord file per the instructions and this
    also does nothing. Is there any way to get it to operate so one does not
    always have to login for every directory?
