What version of Windows?
Try LinNeighbourhood or use the Mandrake Control Centre to find the shares.
Otherwise use the mount.smbfs command to mount them:
Also make sure that you can ping the Windows machine and that your shares are setup properly.

#mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //host/share /mnt/target
The -o option shouldn't be necessary for completely open shares.Also make sure that you can ping the Windows machine and that your shares are setup properly.

I don't understand how to install Linneighborhood. I think I have installed it but don't find it anywhere to use it. Was hoping it would put a desktop icon up there to use.

Do you use KDE? If so try:
open up konqueror (or click your Home icon)
In the address bar type
smb:/// [hit enter]
If samba is running it should show you your network.
If you have lisa running try:
lan:/// [hit enter]
Not sure about nautilus but it would think it would work in that too. Also Linneighborhood is old and busted - new hotness is SMB4K

LinNeighbourhood is a little old and bust, but it's nice because it doesn't ONLY show samba network connections, but all of 'em.
