    Cant see other Suse machines in Workgroup

    I have a home network with a Windows work group. I have 2 linux machines 1 running 10.2 and the other 11, they can both connect wirelessly to my router and the internet ok and I can see all the windows machines on my network and view their shares ok. From 10.2 I can see 11 under network servers but I cant connect. 11 does not even see 10.2. If I try and ping them the packets get lost ... whats the problem?

    Smile Sorted

    Sorted, dont know what the problem was. Disabled and Re-enabled the firewall on my SMC router and suddenly I can see and ping all the machines on my LAN.. most odd.
