New to SuSe Linux/Samba

[Richard Gardner]

I have SuSe 7.0 newly installed, with default/networking packages installed.

It is installed on 2nd partition (Win2k on starting cyl's) and use floppy to
boot Linux.
It is a 333MHz Celeron, 128Mb Ram, 30Gb drive 1/2 for win, 1/2 for linux -
lots of room =)
I have a Kingston EtheRx KNE100TX adapter, running CAT5 to a LinkSys BSFR41
Cable/DSL router.

The only way i could get the network to run at all was with DHCP enabled.
IP's assigned are 192.168.1.100 (Linux box) and 192.168.1.101 (Win98)  I can
Ping, I can tracert.  I can even load http://192.168.1.100  in Win98 in a
browser and it returns the Linux/Localhost Index.html file.  So SOME network
level connectivity is there!

The Win98 machine is a 733 MHz PIII, 128MB RAM, 3 different drives (already
enabled for sharing w/ Win2k -which works btw) and Printer sharing enabled
also via Parallel connect to this machine.  All networking works when 2nd
machine (Linux/Win2k) is running Win2k.

Domain on both machines are set to be SAMBA, Linux hostname = SUSE, Win
hostname = WIN

Ok, so using SWAT, I enabled Samba to be running.
BRIEF view of conf file is below

What the???? why can't I get this all to work?  what more is to be done?
PLZ HELP!!
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!

***** update, ok, i can now "SEE" Suse Icon under Network Neighborhood. When
i browse to "Entire Network" I see two icons, one for "Samba"  - but only
"Win" is shown as Computer Icon (this is this machine, and listed are all
shared drives and the printer), - and I see "Suse" but when I attempt to
click this NetNeigh hangs.  And when i try to click on the + symbol for
"Suse" in the Left Panel to browse then also,  NetworkNeighborhood hangs.
Mounting problem?
