We'll I want to connect to another PC (my lappy)
Lappy has got windows installed while im on SUSE 11

I've 2 network cards of which 1 is having BSNl connection which I dial using KIntenet while using other i used to connect( with a wire I have )with my Lappy

So a stepwise guide will be appreciated
Thanx in advance

Open YaST->Security and Users->Firewall->Interfaces->Set your broadband network card as external zone and other card as internal zone

Masquerading->Select source network as broadband card and destination network as your other card

Click Next and save the configuration

As always... Core comes before anyone else...

And he is right 99% of the times.. or more...

Where will I then see the shared drives of my Lappy

You will not see them anywhere. To see them you have to install/activate samba client on your system
See this document

It's one of the best available on Samba.
