there are several ways to do everything, i hope some of you will post some comments and share your tips as well.
actually this trick works not just for windows computers, you can use this method in order to connect to any smb share (Mac, Linux, Solaris, Unix, Novel, Windows).

in order to connect to a remote computer (windows) do this:1. from "Finder" Go menu select: "Connect to Server"
2. a "Connect to Server" dialog appears
3. at the "Server Address" write: smb://SERVER_NAME/SHARE where SERVER_NAME should be replaced with the server name you want to connect to, and SHARE should be replaced with the share name you want to access.
4. press "Connect" and a connect progress dialog appears
5. if you did not specify a SHARE, then a share list appear waiting for you to select a share.
