Shameless plug here, but you could try my little GUI for SMBFS (Aminet clicky!)... It runs as a commodity, tracks your shares and allows you to mount and dismount them at a click. It doesn't use encryption and passwords are plain to see when you configure it, so it's not for the security-conscious, but it might make things a little easier for you.

I use it all the time and it works great for me, but I use it on OS4 with Roadshow. From my OS3.9 days though, I found that AmiTCP/Genesis to be faster for Samba transfers and general use. Miami of course was much more flexible and so was my only option when connection to some unusual networks.

@JJ
I haven't tried it myself (no MorphOS box) - apparently there's a null pointer somewhere which OS3 and 4 are happy to ignore but MorphOS gives out about, but I haven't been able to find it and it works fine apart from that... Let me know if it works for you! :)
