Thanks defears!!! I have gvfs-smb instaled already.... I tried re-installing it but not succes!!!
I have network manager daemon insted of network in rc.conf if that is of any information for you!! Also I'm running arch with gnome 3.
In this link  http://ubuntuone.com/p/xVn/   you can see the output when trying to acces the shared folder through nautilus.... Is in spanish but the error says "unable to mount shared folder".
Thanks again, jose.

Re: Nautilus won't mount shares folders [SOLVED]

I have found one solution to this problem on another post. The problem is solved when adding this line to the samb.conf file under global settings:

#guest account = pcguest
map to guest = Bad User
guest account = "my user account"

This way I can acces my shared folders from other computers.
I would like to understand how this lines are making the shares to work and if this is safe enough.
Thanks for your help and time, jose.
