Connecting to a Windows Share

Dear Friends,

I'm trying to connect to a samba server on my LAN (actually an Apple
time capsule) by doing the following:

Places -> Connect to Server -> Windows share -> 10.0.1.1

When I try to connect I get the following error: "Can't display
location "smb://10.0.1.1/". No application is registered as handling
this file."

However, when I open the terminal and type: "smbclient
\\\\10.0.1.1\\tc --username mentar", I get: "Domain=[WORKGROUP]
OS=[Apple Base Station] Server=[CIFS 4.30]". Once I'm connected I can
go ahead and put and get files to and from the server which tells me
that I have the necessary packages.

Could anybody help me understand why I get the above error?

Thanks in advance!

Mentar
