[SLE] connecting to an XP box.



Okay, here's the setup.
2 computers (one suse, one windows xp)
connected via a router to the internet connection

I can ping the windows box fine, but I can't seem to connect to it using smbclient. If I try to use smbclient -L POMMYMOMMY, I get a "failed to connect" If I do it via the IP, it gives me a time out. I have a folder set up to share. Doing anything wrong here?
