I'm not sure what the difference is between SAMBA and SMB and whatever, for 
one. At this point, OpenSUSE on the guest can connect to the Windows machine 
it's running on (via telnet) and it can see the host machine (and itself) in 
Gnome's nautilus. But It doesn't see any of the things the host is sharing.

The host can see the guest machine, but when I try to mount any of the 
shares I think it should be sharing, I get "access denied", even tho there's 
only root and "darren" on the guest OS, and I tried the passwords for both, 
so I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing there either.

Well, yes, that's my basic goal. ;-)

smbfs isn't found.  "mount -t cifs" with the same args prompts me for a 
password, then gives me error 13 = Permission denied. However, after 
following thru the man page and giving a bunch of options on the command 
line that it had been prompting for before, it seems to have mounted my 
public share locally on the guest.

Thanks for the help there!
