Can't view Shares from Ubuntu file browser...

I recently replaced Windows Home Server with Amahi. I can view the HDA through Firefox from both my Windows 7 and Ubuntu computers, but I can only view the shared folders via the file browser in Windows 7. In Ubuntu file browser, it does not show up under Network. I'm assuming I need to mount it somehow. I keep going to "Connect to Server", but I can't get it to find the Amahi HDA. Please tell me what I'm missing. Thanks!

On my Ubuntu machines the Windows Network does show up under Network and from there I can see the HDA so I'm not sure why you can't see it. One option is to install
Smb4K. It has a nice GUI interface for mounting samba shares.

Thanks to both of you! I'll try it again tonight when I get home.
