1. Click on Finder
2. From Finder Menu , Select Connect to Server
3. Type in the ip of the server: smb://192.168.1.x

Are you getting an error message?

It is not that simple!!!!  You need to make a change on the SBS server regarding the smb digital signing as per my question - I have done this on a SBS 2003 but do not know the best way to do this on a SBS 2008 server - once the change has been mae you then connect to it from the mac by using the smb command
I am not sure if you have a special configuration on you server but:
I have a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller with a shared folder and i just connected to it with my macbook with the above steps.

Can you provide any details if you have some kind of special setup or what is your error message?
Maybe it's sbs 2008 it is a well known problem you will find this by googling no error
I'm not a Mac person but you shouldn't need to turn off SMB signing if you using Mac OS X.
