There isn't a entry for samba in networking services. I installed webmin 
and
used it to create the initial samba.conf file. I then edited the file by 
hand using VI
and made the desired changes to it. I then used the services module in 
Yast2 to toggle on the nmb service so it starts on start up.
I already had the SMB, Winbind, and SMBFS (think this is it's name) 
services loading on start up.

I probably should have did each change one at a time and documented if 
it fixed the problem or not. as it stands I don't know which one fixed 
the problem, all I know is that now it is working beautifully.
