[ale] accessing my linux box from a windows machine

[ringo]

I have a network in m home and would like to access my linux box to copy
files. If I go to Network neighborhood I see:
Groups on Samba 3.0.7-5-SUSE(linux)
profiles on Samba 3.0.7-5-SUSE(linux)
users on Samba 3.0.7-5-SUSE(linux)

No matter which one I click it asks me for a logon and password. I've
tried my normal login "ringo" and that password as well as root and that
password.
Is there something else I need to do ?
