Command-line network file-browsing Windoze machines

Asked by Tom

I know it's easier by gui but i really need to be able to do this from the command-line. The other machines on my network, all of us connected to a router, are all running Windoze :( The network workgroup name in Windoze is "Argyle" and i don't know how to set this from the command-line either.

Thanks in advance for any help
Regards from
Tom :)
