I have the same problem. I can get to a Windows box from my linux box with "smbclient -L WindowsBoxName" and I get asked for a username and password. I then get a listing from the Windows box about what the shares are etc. I can also use the Windows box's shared printer which I set up with a user name and password in the printer config process.
Nautilus never asked me for a user name or password. It shows the various samba servers on the LAN but clicking on them doesn't get a listing of the shares. It gets the same "can't display" message.
In the config-samba gui I have given my UNIX name a samba username and samba password that works for smbclient but there is no change for nautilus.

Hi there:
I have just learned how to browse my other laptop (MacOSX) in Fedora. I got to the stage where I can display the content at
smb:///XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/chunlee
But I got a error when trying to access folders in the /chunlee. The error says 'sorry, could not display all the content of "some_folder" '. How can I correct this?
Also, it there a way to remember my username and password so that I don't have to retype them whenever I make a move?
Many thanks
Yours

I cannot tell you why you cannot display the contents of the folder but regarding the passwords, Nautilus will ask you if it should remember the username and password the first time you enter it and then add it to the keyring after that. It is the case with Gnome 2.6 in Fedora 2.
