If installed correctly, it should show a Network shortcut in the left pane. You can also try Go → Location and type smb:// or network:// and you should see shares and folders.

Samba is by nature not reliable, though, so it's possible that a computer doesn't show up temporarily. I recommend also checking "gigolo" and see if it recognises the shares.
