i have no problems with smb://

it was not   smbfs://   should it be   cifs://   ?
you can connect to a w2k-server with  smbfs/cifs  but afair only with  
cifs  to a w2k3-server smbfs will fail.

it is the samba suite and you start smbd and nmbd with `service smb start`

# service  smb start
SMB-Dienste starten:                                       [  OK ]
NMB-Dienste starten:                                       [  OK ]
# service winbind start
Winbind-Dienste starten:                                   [  OK ]


feel free to file a RFE in bugzilla that it should be
"service cifs start"  or  nautilus should display the protocol  "cifs://"
