. Winduhs natively does administrative communication via their SMB protocol (Server Message Block). This was 'borrowed' by them from an archaic DEC messaging system. When Winduhs started communicating all over the place with SMB, one bright light remembered the old DEC protocol. He was able to fit this to *nix, back-engineer/tweak it to SMB and dubbed it Samba.

You will share files & printers both ways with her using Samba (remember the HowTo?). And she will reach the internet through your machine via "masquerading", which is a function of the firewall. (IPTables) I've always used my own script for firewall, but I hear Suse's is good.
Windows can load and use Samba?
