openSUSE Samba shares not showing up in file manager

Samba shares do not show up in file manager

OS: OpenSuse Tumbleweed VERSION_ID=“20200331”

File to check: /var/log/samba/log.nmbd

So my samba network was not visible at all in xfce on OpenSuse. In this case it was not the firewall or samba version, it was just dns resolving. I noticed my OpenSuse VM still had localhost as the hostname and in

/etc/samba/smb.conf

I had the following settings active:

netbios name = opensuse 
server string = OPENSUSE

So I changed my hostname with hostnamectl:

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname opensuse

After that it works like a charm!
