How do i make my Suse10.3 machine visible to all the other windows

I don't understand "visible"
is it network sharing over nfs samba nas, open a ssh port, ...............

you can start to look in the firewall
open port or service in the firewall?
yast - security and users - firewall

You don't userstand? Well you may already have gotten rid of the desktop
metaphor, but users who grew up with Windows still use it. They are working
with pieces of paper in folders on a desk, moving them around and stuff, so
those symbols are used as the computer interface as well, doing very much
the same thing.

And then Windows has this application called network neighborhood, and they
assume that this actually is THE network. It just fits the users brain who
operate in a physical world and they can imagine machines being in some
neighborhood. And this is what I think what "Barely Audible" meant.

So he should go ahead and rtfm:

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Access_to_Windows_Shares
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Samba_file_sharing_in_openSUSE_-_breaking_through_the_window
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printing_via_SMB_(Samba)_Share_or_Windows_Share

or whatever fits his needs.

Andreas
