I have samba running and if I type as a URL

smb://computer_name_or_IP/

I get a listing of files present. How can I make it so I can
A ) see all networked computers, (like network neighborhood in windows 98 or view workgroup computer in XP)
B ) Possibly mount that to a folder
C ) if B is possible then make it mount at startup.
D ) (Not sure if I need this, but in case I did it wrong, share files to a windows computer)

That tells me how to mount a shared folder like
smb://IPHERE/folder

I want to mount the equivalent of
smb://IPHERE/

There are several other programs available that will provide the network sharing and mounting quite easily from GUIs for you. I've used LinNeighborhood, but I currently use smb4k - I like the interface a lot better.
