problems with windows share

Hi, I'm hoping for a hint on accessing windows shares - I've gotten most of the way, but has gotten stuck :-(

I installed FC3, and i noticed in the release notes, it said I had to turn of the firewall to see Windows shares.

I did that, and now I can see the windows machines on the network, and I can log in with user/pass, to see what's in the root of the shares (Via the nautilus file browsing tool).

Problem is, when I try to acces a file, or a folder, it just says the following:
---------------------------------------
Cannot open mp3

The filename "mp3" indicates that this file is of type "folder". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "unknown". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "unknown", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
----------------------------------------

Any suggestions as to what's the matter, and how I solve it?

thanks Joda
