NFS is Sun's Network File System - a way of sharing file between (traditionally) Unix machines, where as smbfs is a network share name available via Microsofts SMB (server message broker) protocol... NFS is nicer for Linux boxes as it has proper support for Unix file permissions and owners.

As for finding out what shares are available - I'm not really sure... For SMB shares you can browse to the machine in Network Neighbourhood under Windows of the Linux equivilent (Lin Neighbourhood????)
