Thanks for the help.

Sorry if I am not understanding this.

I do not know what is so hard to follow.
Sorry but my reference was to Samba and Samba Server connections not
Konqueror.

Please before we continue.

Equipment
These are two test boxes used for testing only.
Neither box is being used for or in a system.

Objective
To make a SAMBA connection between the two boxes.

Settings
All firewalls are turned off.
Samba should be set to accept ALL connections.

Procedure
Make a simple Samba connection with out having issues with security.
Adjust Samba connection to have desired features.
Set security.
Clear up other issues with desktop setup including Konqueror and desktop
features.
Start set up of operational programs.

One thing for sure: You should consult the Samba documentation. Install
the samba-doc package, then read
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/Samba-Guide.pdf or the html version under
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/Samba-Guide/.

Went to above doc; opened "Samba by Example" Chapter 1 No Frills Samba Server

Procedure 1.1
item 1 & 2
Skipped as had Samba installed.
item3
Did exactly as per example

Then copied several files into directory which do not exist on CLIENT so that
if I found those files through CLIENT I would be sure network was
operational.

Item 4
Example 1.1
Changed workgroup from MIDEARTH to TUX-NET
item 5 changed 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.106
[Server has MAC address of 192.168.1.106]

Procedure 1.2
Did not do initially instead setup 2nd SuSE-CLIENT box exactly as server box.
On second attempt used Win XP box.

Validation
item 1
Got exactly same results as shown in example.
item 2
Got exactly same results as shown in example.
item 3
For SuSE-CLIENT
For Genome -> File Browser -> TUX-NET - Linus
{Shouldn't there be two icons here? One for each computer. Two computers two
icons] Click on Linux and data and all files show that I am in CLIENT.
For KDE -> URL=smb:/ -> TUX-NET - Linus
{Shouldn't there be two icons here? One for each computer. Two computers two
icons] Click on Linux and data and all files show that I am in CLIENT
FOR Windows XP-CLIENT
Local Network ->Internet or Network address -> 192.168.1.106 Error Message:
The folder you entered does not appear to be valid -> Brewers for folder -
Microsoft Windows Network -Tux-Net highlight Tux-Net Make new folder ->
Error: You can not make new folder here.

I do knowsince I do not know Samba but it is my belief that CLIENT is not
connecting to SERVER mount point if that is what they call /plans directory
created in procedure 1.1 item 3.

Thanks
