[glug-t] access windows network in linux

Hi ,

We have put up lan in our hostel and its windows workgroup bases. The
workgroup name is pearl@xxxxxxxx . In XP we can access the shared
folders from "Workgroup Computers" option in  My Computer . But how
can we do that from linux . We have configured the network and http,
ftp are all working .
When we browse the network , its listing all the workgroup computers
but when we click on any of them , it says

"This seems to a smb share. Rename it with proper extension and then
try to open .If you have created the file , opening it might me a
security risk . Open it with appropriate application "

Its listing all the Workgroup computers for the command "findsmb" .But
when i tried mounting it i couldn't .

someone please suggest a solution soon.=20

-vignesh.
