Thought about this some more. I ass-u-me'd that you had disabled DHCP and 
enabled static IP address through YaST, Network Devices, Network Card and 
had only 1 single address assigned to this network card. I ass-u-me'd that 
you did _not_ add an additional IP address to the NIC while configuring the 
card itself through the Additional Addresses option. If you don't know what 
that is then you probably didn't do that.

AND to answer the real question of how to share a directory on SUSE to 
Windows... enable Samba server and client in YaST, Network Services, Samba 
Client and Samba Server. Then enable sharing of the specific directories on 
your SUSE system. This should work whether you use static or dynamic IP 
addressing on the SUSE system.

So _if_ you still need static IP addresses in your LAN, re-configure your 
firewall/router to hand out fewer dynamic addresses and set your SUSE box's 
static IP address outside of the dynamic range of your firewall/router.
