Choose Computer -> Network -> Windows Network -> ...
wait a moment and then your domain name appears.
choose it and you'll see your shares.

But this nautilus is very slow with smb shares, or is it some other 
component.
In Explorer a share with about 10000 files is opened in max. 5 seconds.
In Nautilus I have to wait 1 minute or more.
