10.5: How to connect to a Windows server or share

This solution isnt all encompassing. Sure, the domian text field is now gone and entering it with a \ before your username is equivalent, but there seems to be a bug with mounting certain windows shares via smb. I used to be able to mount a work share in 10.4 using connet to server and smb://domain;username@ip_address/share but now it says my username and password are incorrect (they are not). This seems to be a common theme with many on the apple forums.
