Connecting to Windows file shares from a Mac

Hi,

I have a DFS address //domainname.local/fileserver/files/ which I want to access from a Mac, any ideas how I do it please?

I've googled but can't find a clear solution

not to my knowledge. Snow Leopard came on it pre-installed, I'll check that now thank you....

edit: or do you mean something on the windows server?

no then, definately not. Just been to Add/Remove windows components and couldn't see that option though, this is a DFS share by the way if it makes any difference?
