Nautilus not listing smb as available protocol

I'm using dwm as my WM and since it doesn't come with a graphical file manager I decided to install Nautilus.
I was trying to browse a smb server in my local network but, to my surprise, I can't connect.
The first thing I tried to do was, of course, to install the samba package using pacman -S samba, but this didn't help.
Might there be something Nautilus is lacking that doesn't allow it to support smb?
It lists other protocols just fine but smb is just not there.

You need the gvfs-smb package too, please check it is installed
