Detect NFS servers over a network

I want to know if you guys can tell me how to search for NFS/Samba servers over a network.

In the scenario where I come to a Wireless Hotspot and I want to share files with the rest of the workgroup which command should I use to detect hosts/nfs and samba servers to mount.

I know for a particular suspected NFS server it's

showmount -e nfsmachine
Im not sure of how to look on a whole network though. maybe
showmount -e network/mask ex: showmount -e 192.168.1.0/24

and for Samba shares it's the nmblookup command. not sure of the switches though
