You need to install the samba paackage from the networking section , then edit/configure it (check the doc inthe /usr/shared/packages/samba) , then start them via yast /configure and set it to start samba , next reboot. You will also need to cjhange all your windows boxes to use non encrypted passwords.See the samba docs , there is a tool on the samba (www.samba.org that will do this for your I think) or you will need to install the encryption stuff.
It's easy to set up samba for encrypted passwords; "out of the box". So there's no need to change the Windows configuration. Read the documentation and the notes in the configuration file. Start Samba without rebooting - use rcsmb after setting the configuration. Also, make sure that START_SMB is set to "yes" in /etc/rc.config Any changes in Samba configuration are "immediate". No need to restart services, no reboots.

I have a peer to peer network set up with two desktop PC and two laptops, all running W98
I have installed Suse Linux 7 on my Desktop PC and now wish to join the peer to peer network.
My network card is correctly configured in Linux, but I'm not sure what to do next
My aims are to:
1 allow other users to have access to the printer attached to my PC
2 to give me access to files on other PCs
3 to give other users access to files on my PC
any tips? So I have to set my PC up as a server and change the nature of the network?
