Please read the tips and tricks section of the board.
There are two very recent posts about such.
One is an excellent detailed writeup of smbclient which is part of DSL.

There is also a Samba extension in the repository.

You should be able to access your windows shares easily using the smbclient included with DSL. Search the forums for smbclient.
