Most file managers (like nautilus) understand the smb:// protocol.
You might have to install smbclient and cifs-utils, but try the smb://server/share first.
There's also gvfs that allows you to use gvfs-mount smb://server/share from the command line.
Additionally there's gigolo that is a UI that will mount (using the gvfs backend)

As for a samba server, I put this together a while back:

It's from another forum on another distro, but there's nothing particular for that distro in it.  The edits (and smb.conf) is not particular to any host or installed location either.
