Have you configured samba yet? In konqueror type smb://<WinXPip> and see if it prompts you to log in. Replace <WinXPip> with the ip address, not the host name of the windows box.

Can Suse see the Win XP computer
if so, it may be that you need to "share" the folder
normally something like
right click on the folder
and select "sharing"

otherwise its configure Samba

hope this helps
floppy
