Hi,
In GNOME go to Computer on your desktop then select network and in network your windows shares should be visable.
also try this:
smbclient /64.83.80.20/TheShareName

You can do the following from any terminal:
smbclient -L /64.83.80.20
This command should list any available resources on the Windows computer that are available to you. If you get an error, or get no return from it, you may need to check to insure you have your settings in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file correctly setup.

add to your /etc/samba/smb.conf:
wins server = IP-of-your-wins-server
wins support = yes
wins server = IP-of-your-wins-server
wins support = yes
Samba server being configured is ok, but you may have to check the samba client settings. PING is not related to a windows domain, it's just TCP/IP.

I assumed that the server and the client are identical (for the question). Anyway, my suggestion is valid for both;-)

Seconding Rindi, Try Konqueror for the smb://url/format . Not sure if any other browser is configured for that. I know for a fact Firefox doesn't support the protocol.
Also, url of the form smb://domain alone might not work.
Correct format is smb://domain\username@host name/share dFolder. Without "sharedFolder" in the URL doesn't work for me. If you guys know why please let me know. Anyway, i'm fine with the current URL format :-)
Let us know how it goes.

couldnt display smb://64.83.80.20 because no host 64.83.80.20 could be found. check that the spelling is correct and that your proxy settings are correct "
I can ping 64.83.80.20 succesfully.
Any ideas?
