samba puts together the liux equivalent of windows Network Neighborhood, sharing drivers on a network. to get it working, read the howto's...

You will either need to get your servers running IPX/SPX or get the clients to use TCP/IP.

you don't generally use a netneihbourhood equivalent for samba... it only does the important stuff. if you think you want an annoying front end for it search for LinNeighborhood

you can just mount the shares very simply from a script file or manually and they will be as if they were on your machine, then you can use file manager if you want.
mount -t smbfs //computername/sharename /localfoldertomounton
