I am not familiar with Nautilus browsing of Windows Networking...I don't
use it.
>From command line...
smbclient -L MACHINE_NAME -U USER_NAME%PASS_WORD
will return a list of 'browseable' shares from computer -L using
authenticated user -U and password after the percent.
likewise...
mount -t smbfs //MACHINE_NAME/SHARE /mount/point/for/this/mount -o
"username=USER_NAME,password=PASS_WORD"
