Thanks very much indeed. I really didn't have a clue where to start. You've given me a lot to get on with and I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty now I've got some pointers. Should keep me occupied for a least a week!!
Cheers, Martin

through YAST on the laptop and after entering the username and password it seems to connect (this is only after I shut down the laptop firewall manually - God knows what port the SAMBA CLIENT needs open!). However when I try to browse the network through konqueror "smb://collins-net/" I get the error "could not connect to host for smb://collins-net/".
collins-net is a workgroup...this only matters for browsing a whole network, if you are trying to connect to a specific machine your UNC path should be smb://hostname/(optional share name) not smb://workgroup/
