For simple file browsing and copying, you can open Konqueror and use
smb://[servername]/[sharename] in the URL.
Use can mount the windows fileshares, but I gave up with trying to get this
to reliably mount on my laptop when working connected, disconnected etc, so
i use smb4k to manage the mounting of windows shares from a nice GUI. Can
mount using smbfs or cifs (found that smbfs was no longer supported by
default in Suse10.2)
