Firewall problems with Samba



I've got 4 boxes running 10.2 and I'm trying to get Samba going so that I
can use it with a collection of Win machines and one OS/2 server. Here's
where I am: All the non-Linux boxes see each other and their shares.
They also see the Linux boxes and the shares are usable. Problem is that
none of the Linux boxes can see anything UNLESS I drop the firewall. Drop
the firewall and all is well, so the problem has to be in the firewall
somehow.

I've tried the Yast Samba setup routines and each individual box works as
expected after exiting the Yast Samba setup - until I try use Samba on
another Linux box. At that point, all 4 Linux boxes go right back to the
hermit mode. I still have access to them from the non-Linus boxes but not
between them.

I've tried everything I could find with the firewall - opened ports 135,
137:139, and 445 for both tcp and udp but nothing seems to stick. Anybody
got a quick solution for this?
