There's help for this at the following location:
In order to connect to a network share, you would open Nautilus ("Files" on the launcher), and click "Connect to Server" in the left pane. When prompted, enter the samba share protocol followed by the IP address of the computer (or FQDN...):
smb://192.168.1.16 (for example)
Hope this helps.
