Your best bet for fixing this is to run a packet trace while you try and connect. I found that I was sending the incorrect workgroup name which was causing my browsing problems here. (I had the same problems with XP Home too.) gnome-keyring-manager is your friend with SMB shares. I store the attributes for my connections like my User, Domain, Server, Object (folder), and Password in there. Let me know what the error is that you're getting and I'll see if it's the same or if I've run into it before. I've battled samba a number of times here.
