thanks for the input guys. I got it working last night. I wound up 
having to go back in to Yast2 and installing all of the networking 
packages. While I was at it I also installed all of the KDE packages and 
all of the Gnome packages. after I did this and I went into the 
networking services and turned on NMB as suggested in a previous message 
(wasn't installed in default recommended installation).

works great now.

I knew I had the samba.conf file laid out right. I fought that battle 
with Redhat 8.0 and I remembered how to properly lay it's format out.

I agree the GUI is great if you're in a hurry, but I would much rather 
do all my
tweaking and configuring from the Command line

All in all SuSe 8.2 gets 2 thumbs up from me. I guess I will be trucking 
it on down to
Compusa to purchase a Boxed set of SuSe 8.2 unless you know of someplace 
where I
can get a really awesome price on a boxed retail copy of it.
