Hi Folks, I've a SuSE Professional LAN (192.168.1.x) connected with a windows machines [the Windows machines have a Workgroup: Site_1) ... at remote location (connected using Frame Relay) I have another bunch of Windows machines connected using another Workgroup (Site_2) and other LAN (192.168.2.x).

I defined my routes so I can 'ping' the machines at Site_2 from Site_1, also the machines from Site_2 can ssh/access the application on Linux. Almost everything works fine ... but now the customer wants to use the printer's attached to machines on WG Site_2 from a Windows machine located on Site_1.

This is not a fault of linux or the windows machines. You need to turn on bridging on the routers if you want to pass netbios traffic. Either that or putting them all in the same workgroup might help. I have the same setup here, Cisco routers and Frame/Relay but all of our wan connections are in the same workgroup and we can at least reach the remote machines using \\168.192.x.x\share.
