Follow the HowTos here:

Take care to
- Open the samba ports on your firewall, while testing it might help to
disable the firewall. - Be sure to add Samba Users with:
smbpasswd -a <username>
\code]
If you are still having problems it will help if you post the contents of:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
The HowTos on Swerdna's site should answer most of your questions.

"We're all in this together, I'm pulling for you." Red Greensweet, smbpasswd -a worked great. The only other issue I have is I can not see my windows vista shred folder on my Suse box but I think I can figure it out from here thanks alot!
