This comes up so often it should go in the FAQ :-)

If it was this trivial, when you did a Network Neighborhood of "Entire
Network" you would get every Windows/Samba/etc server on the Internet :-)
In many cases you can work around this with a WINS server, but not all.
You have to understand that "network neighborhood" only shows servers
in it's own workgroup, subnet, or if you're really lucky, domain.

You should however still be able to connect to the shares.  If you have
WINS locally (or an LMHOSTS file) that has the servername/IP address
mapping in it, just "open" or "connect network drive" to \\servername.
If all else fails, you should be able to use \\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\sharename
where you specify the IP address.  Both cases presume you have NetBIOS
over TCP/IP enabled, and it may work a little quicker if you don't have
NetBEUI protocol configured.
