Hello Andre, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.

Can you please try this in a terminal:

smbclient -L conce-cpu

... should be some output, maybe login required, here is the output when I run this against my laptop running Natty:

$ smbclient -L clint-MacBookPro
Enter clint's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.6]

 CLINT-MACBOOKPRO clint-MacBookPro server (Samba, Ubuntu)

 WORKGROUP CLINT-MACBOOKPRO

Then try this to login:

smbclient //clint-MacBookPro/testshare

Again here is the example:

$ smbclient //clint-MacBookPro/testshare
Enter clint's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.6]
smb: \> dir

smb: \> quit

Replace clint-MacBookPro/testshare with CONCE-CPU/a-valid-share

Thanks!
