Is there anything for xwindows that will let you browse the network like
with microsofts neighborhood network?

Why not search on freshmeat?	(http://freshmeat.net/)

(all a bit "linux centric" perhaps, should not be impossible to port)

And there are probably others.

KDE 2.1 has a nice "virtual filesystem" in it's Konquerer,
complete
with something like a network neighborhoud.

There is also a Great Program called xsmbrowser

 From the website
"xSMBrowser is a Gui over the Samba utilities that allows users to easily 
browse Microsoft networks. It was designed using Linux, but, because it 
does not use smbfs to view files, it runs on almost all Unix (Solaris, 
OSF1, NetBSD,...). As seen from the screen shots, it employs an interface 
similar to Netscape Navigator that is fast and easy to use. Simply put, 
this is "Network Neighborhood" for Unix. "
