Samba with Nautilus

[zer0halo]

There are some problems with the gnome-vfs which contribute to
unrealiable use of SMB with Nautilus to access Windows shares,
especially on a network with domain authentication.

>From what I heard, a patch is being worked on that should help resolve
these problems. In the meantime, we just have to wait.

What I have found works very well is SMBC. It's a simple MC style
program but it allows me to browse the network, access shares, copy
files to/from those shares (providing permissions are set properly).

Get it by doing:

apt-get install smbc
