LinuxQuestions.org - Samba as File & Printer Server with Windows XP Pro as client

I must have read a thousand threads on this topic but still i cant seem to configure my system right so that i can use my Linux box(SUSE 9.1 Pro) as a File and Printer Server for my Windows XP Pro - box. Let me point out this is my first time on Linux so i must have overseen something.

Configuration:
- Linux Box: Suse 9.1. Pro on IP 192.168.1.12
- Windows Box: Windows XP Pro + SP1 on IP 192.168.1.10
- Draytek Vigor 2200e Router

What i've done so far:
- Installed Samba Server and Samba Client on my Linux Box
- Set an domain name in Yast/Samba Server --> WorkGroup
- Tried to connect my XP box to the domain name (As described on Samba.org)

My Samba Config file

Code:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented

# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE

# Date: 2004-07-21

What i've seen:
- no connection from my Windows XP box to my Linux Box (looking in My Network Connections in Win XP)
- no connection from my Linux Box to Win Box (looking in services:/ --> smb:/ -> No workgroup found)
- In terminal: smbclient -L WorkGroup --> Connection to workgroup failed

Anyone got a thought on how to solve this problem? Hopefully somebody's got a good step-by-step guide on how to install SAMBA as File and Printer server on Linux with a Windows XP Pro Client.
