If you find that network (Windows) shares are not being displayed in Nautilus (but are otherwise available), you can query them by opening a terminal and entering “smbtree”. For example, if you want to open a share on a Windows machine named “win2″, but you aren’t sure of the name, do this:

1. Open a terminal.
2. Type this:

   smbtree

3. Note the name of the share in the list. For this example, we’ll say it’s “my files”.
4. Go to Nautilus, and type “smb:win2my files” in the address bar, and hit “ENTER”.
