See the following two Howtos and follow them carefully. The first is written
specifically for OpenSuse and they both give step by step instructions.

Added information. There is currently a problem with AppArmors profiles for
Samba that prevents Samba from running. Go to YaST -> Novell AppArmor ->
AppArmor Control Panel -> set profile modes
and set both usr.sbin.nmbd and usr.sbin.smbd to “complain” instead
of “enforce”.

Another way to go would be for example to install WinSCP on the Windows pc, start sshd on openSUSE and use WinSCP for copying files between the two computers.
That’s just another way, using samba is perfectly fine and will work when configured properly.
hey all thanks for ur assistance ive managed to get samba working by adjusting the app armour settings as mentioned above it appears that all my other settings were ok thanks for all the advice & links
