are you using smbmount to do this ? if so what are the errors you get. Can
you ping back and forth ? What version of suse , and samba are you using .
The more info you can post , the more likely some one can help.

what you are doing makes sence. You will want to spend some time
orginizuing it all. With samba you can "trick" all the others into thinking
is a server. If you have more than a dozen machines , you will want to quit
it down a bit. You can staqt by adding all the tcp/ip Numbsers and machine
/ workgroup names in the host. You can also make the samba  do the name
translation , Wins I think. Not sure thought. am new at this.
