Network and Wifi Help

How do I graphically browse through Windows shares?
I'm thinking something similar to "My Network Places" in XP.

Also
How do I view a list of available wireless networks, something similar to XP Wireless zero config.

My wireless card works fine I've manually got it connected, but now I'm on campus and there are a few networks in range.

I use (smb4k) for browsing M$ shares. It has a little trouble unmounting shares sometimes, but I haven't investigated the problem; rebooting is easier. It has a very intuitive interface and a lot of configuration options through the gui (some of which I had trouble setting with other smb/cifs utilities without root permissions).
