Hello - I have installed the latest version of SUSE Linux as a clean install; the original version (was much older from about 2002) could see the same Windows Workgroup, connect to Win shares and vice-versa.
WIth the new version, I can see the LINUX server appear in my WORKGROUP, but when I try to connect to the shares which I have setup - it asks for user/pass. I try every combination from the 'root' password to an admin account password. I turned off the LINUX (and Windows) firewalls. The Shares (on LINUX) are setup in YAST. One XP computer and connect to the Vista computer using shares (and vice-versa); but, when the LINUX/Samba server enters the picture, LINUX reports "Timeout on WORKGROUP" and cannot see the Windows Shares. Again, Windows computers can see the LINUX Shares, but just cannot connect to them regardless of the password/name combos I have tried. The LINUX computer can browse Internet, etc and the router sees the IP/Mac address of the LINUX box. THANKS in advance.
