This site will solve most of your Fedora issues:

Samba (windows file sharing) issues are in the networking section.

Oops... sorry, you want to open a windows share.
You will need to install the samba client if it is not already installed.

Then just Open file browser and click on "File">"Connect to Server"
Under "Service Type" select "Windows Share"
Populate the server field and share info.
