    Good evening folks.

    Just installed V9.2 Pro and guess what Samba client refuses to see my
    Windows network. The error is "Unable to find any workgroups in your
    network."

    Had v9.0 Pro till this afternoon and was able to connect on any Windows
    or Samba computer on my network.

    I skipped completely V9.1 Pro since it had the same problem.

    Why can't Suse get it right with Samba ? Why does Xandros, RHat and
    Turbolinux 10F get it right from the first time ?

    My DNS is an SME Server v6.01 and has been running for the last 8 months
    now and has worked with every other distro : Red Hat Linux Desktop,
    Ubuntu, Xandros, Mandrake, Windows PCs.

    Any suggestions or comments are welcomed.

    Regards,

    Luis-Miguel
