SMB error

Hi, I have been trying to connect to my companies network for a few months now without really looking into it to much. I have recently started trying to use SMB to connect to the network. But it isn't working. If i go to
Finder, Networks, and my work group file I can see all the computers on the network. But when I try and connect to them I get a error message saying that the alias is wrong. This is as far as i have got with this method. but when I open finder and apple+K and enter the IP address of my work computer and enter all the information asked for it tries to connect and says (error -50) could some one help me with this please because I cannot fix it and I am starting to need my laptop on the network more and more.

Peter.

Are you entering the SMB information like this? smb://192.168.1.45/shared

What kind of windoze box are you trying to connect to? On my network, for example, smb sharing worked well connecting to a windoze 2k server but NOT to a 2003 server. I had to change the security policy on the 2003 box to allow Mac's to share. Both these servers are active directory controllers.
