Usually I use the command line and then just ssh into the box and look around. Then I copy the file with scp. See this link.
However, I know you're probably looking for a graphical method like using network neighborhood. But I've never set this up. Sorry I couldn't be more help...
If you are trying to browse shares on Windows computers, you will need to use Samba. You can mount (man mount), a Windows share, and then browse it graphically with nautilus or konqueror or whatever your filesystem browser of choice is. Alternatively, you can use smbclient to browse remote smb shares in an interactive text mode. Just for starters, try
Code:
smbclient -L //YourWindowsPC
If it shows you a list of shares, you are at least on the right track.
Do some online research on 'samba'. Come back here with more specific questions. It is a biggish topic, and you are clearly at the low end of the learning scale so far.
If u r using SuSE, then might be already havind samba installed but, yes you will need to configure it, as per your network.
To get a taste of samba, click "run command" from "Kmenu" and type
Code:
smb:/
And check if u get something. Although, if u need any help configuring you file sharing, just post ur problem here.
