I don't have that but it's easy and you will soon get a response from someone that does. I believe there's an app for that in the network menu, Smbc.

This is how I do it. First you will have to edit, as root, your /etc/samba/smb.conf to reflect the"workgroup" you are in. You can also state the directories you wish to share there.( I assume you have samba and samba server installed). Next install smbnetfs. This will bring in some other apps it needs to work. Create a directory in your home ie: /home/username/workgroup so you can access the network. Last is to open a terminal and enter smbnetfs ~/workgroup. This will mount all computers in the specified workgroup under the folder"workgroup" you created.
You can add smbnetfs ~/workgroup to a startup file such as .xinitrc or icewm startup and it will mount at login automagically for you.
