I am on a LAN network on which most of the systems are Windows based and only I am using Ubuntu 12.10.

I want to access the Shared folders on these systems using my ubuntu.

I have installed samba and am able to access these folders using Nautilus.

However I want to be able to browse these using commandline or some other software like FileZilla.

Entering the IP of the host in Filezilla does not work.

How should I go about doing this?

(Background info: The reason why I'm asking this is that a few systems on the LAN do not appear in Nautilus. I verified that they are connectible by using ping. On windows when such a situation occurs i.e. and a host fails to appear in the explorer, I simply press Start + R, type host-ip and press enter. What is the equivalent in Ubuntu?)
