As somebody mentioned earlier, if you've got SUSE, then you've got KDE as a 
graphical manager. If you've got KDE then you've got Konqueror both as a 
internet browser and as a file/network browser.

	Open up Konqueror. On the left hand side you should see a panel with icons 
for 'Devices' and 'Lan Manager'. If you havn't got this panel then hit F9 
then you will see it.

Click on the LAN manager icon and it should open-up eventually giving you a 
list of the shares on both computers, which, given favourable permissions and 
passwords will allow you to browse the contents. 

Or you could use the shortcut suggested and enter "smb://198.128.0 11" or 
"smb://198.128.0.1" in Konqueror's LOcation box.
