Accessing local Server

[Pilopew]

Hai,

Im in an apartment building, and we have internet over the cable. Now there is a local server, and windows users access it by typing "\\derp" in their Internet Explorer bar(or whatever browser really) I tested it on my dualboot, and it works. Now I was wondering how one does that on a mac? I obviously tried the \\derp, but that returns a "can't open the page"(hurr durr, sort of saw that coming). I think its somewhere in servers and then browse or something?
Does anyone know what I"m on about?

Cheers

it has to do with the way windows connects to servers.

ask for the ip of it then use finder to connect to it like this:
cmd+k - smb://x.x.x.x/ and it should connect no problem
I do this at my school
