How does one use a Mac to connect to a Windows share on the LAN?


You can do this a couple of ways. First way is to browse the network in Finder. Next way (and the way I use) is to use the "Go To" menu entry in Finder and "Go To" a server. It will ask for specific connect info (a URI) or you can browse the network from there.

You can do a connect to smb://servername/sharename at that point

If you want to automatically mount remote shares you can frob your startup/login items in system preferences.
