Primary system means Day to day computer. As this is a home network I do not have a primary or secondary domain controller. I may decide to install one latter as I add systems, but since I normally don't have on any more then three at a time I view it as unnecassary. Yast client is started and lisa daemon is started. When you click on the Local Network icon, you are supposed to see your systems, correct? I have been running Suse 9.0 for my main desktop for the last two years, and after the hardest part (setting up my printer), haven't really had to configure much as it has just worked for me. The only reason I still have Windows is for games and the new one I am waiting for I doubt Microsoft will release for Linux. Thanks again

My Primary system has a failing mech. So I took a donated system and another hard drive I had for backup and assembled it to be a Samba server, to back up my stuff to (manually) and use it as a file server. You do not say what the primary machine is running and whether it is a domain controller or not, but by using the word "Primary" I assume it is a domain controller.
Be aware that Samba cannot act as a backup domain controller to a windows domain controller. At least, that was last I checked, someone pleas let is know if that's changed.
As for browsing the net, run the samba-client module in Yast, and make sure the lisa daemon is started: /etc/init.d/lisa start
