can't ping my network

[gaaslight]

I used to share my internet connection with my daughters computer (winnt4.0) when I was running Mandriva 2006. Now that I'm running OpenSUSE 10.1. We can't find each other or even a workgroup on the network( both our computers conneted thru a switch). Could somebody please help us? Is it the tcp/ip configuration on my SUSE box?

too many factors..... is your SUSE's firewall running? are both IP in the same subnet mask? workgroup, is your samba running properly?

the firewall is not running. the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 for both ip addresses. the workgroup is tux-net. as far as samba runnig properly:
