Quite the same problem for me: a fresh install of Hardy Heron (amd64)
updated until today (21 Apr 2008). Everything works well with some other Gutsy box.
In any case smbclient works well. It seems a gnome issue...

Places -> Connect to Server... -> Windows share
I fill these entries:
- Server : 192.168.235.8
- User name : *******
- Domain name : *******

Then I got an error:
'Can't display location "smb://192.168.235.8/"
No application is registered as handling this file'

If I repeat I got:
'Can't display location "smb://192.168.235.8/"
Location is already mounted'
But there is no evidence in Nautilus or on Desktop about that
connection.

If I provide the 'Folder' information too, so:
Palces -> Connect to Server... -> Windows share
- Server : 192.168.235.8
- Folder : public
- Unser name : *******
- Domain name : *******
After the password prompt I got the usual message
'Can't display location "smb://192.168.235.8/"
No application is registered as handling this file'...
but a "192.168.235.8" icon appears on Desktop (it's the smb
connection)! If I double click it I get the authorization request (login,
password and domain) and then a _second_ icon appears on the screen,
identical to the previous one. Now nautilus shows successfully
the content of the windows share.

If I unmount the 'first' smb connection (left click on the first icon
on Desktop) it disappears but the connection to the windows
share still holds. Unmounting the second smb connection removes
the actual connection.

Even more strange: If I use gnomevfs from command line everithing
works ok, even without specifying the target folder:
gnomevfs-ls smb://192.168.235.8
(asks for login, domain and password)
then it shows the required information.
