   Setting up SAMBA in Tumbleweed   
   17 Jun 20 23:17:24   
   
   From: prschmi@Zfrontier.com   
      
   I watched a lot of YouTube videos on this and still have one problem.   
   I am missing a little something.  Maybe someone can suggest.  This is   
   a simple Home network.   
   1. I renamed the Tumbleweed computer HOST from 'localhost' to 'suse15'   
   (Used 'hostnamectl')   
   2. I set up Samba Server using the GUI.  (a) Workgroup, (b) Start on   
   Reboot, (c) Open firewall port, (d) In SHARES, Allow users to share   
   directories.  [No Guests]  I left the rest original.  (e) Added my   
   smbpasswd to coincide with Win user and password   
      
   I am working with a windows 7 as the second computer.   
   1. On viewing 'Network'  I only see the Win7 box.   
   2. If I enter '//suse15'  on the input line, the Tumbleweed Box   
   dirrectories appear and I have access to tumbleweed box   
       Also in the sidebar under Network, I now have 'Win7' and 'suse15'   
   listed, BUT no image in larger window   
   3. If I close the network window and reopen, I have to repeat step 2   
   (entering the computer name) to get at the Tumbleweed box.   
      
   Somehow Win7 is not finding the Tumbleweed box w/o me naming it.   
   I am missing something, but WHAT??  A 'resolve' issue ??
