In my home network I have an Ubuntu machine that is running Samba server. My Windows machine is easily able to browse through the folders after providing a username and password.
However when I try to run smb://server from my Raspberry Pi 2 it is not able to access the shared folder(s). What am I doing wrong as I am a newbie in the Pi World.

You can use mount command
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.x.x/<your-share> /home/pi/my-share username=pi, password=mypass
You may need to install cifs-utils
