It's not elegant, but it works just the same. To access your NAS via SMB in Leopard try the following:
smb://username@IP-address
That should give you a password prompt and you should be able to connect from there.
If you are like me and got used to the SMB connection "just working" once you set it up under Tiger, you've probably forgotten your username by now. You should be able to find it in Keychain Access under the Passwords Category. As for the actual password itself, you're on your own. Try looking on that sticky note under your keyboard. (If you actually looked under your keyboard and actually found a sticky note containing your password, please slap yourself for me. Hard.)
Just so you can appreciate what a big deal it was for me to get this connectivity back, here is my setup:
NAS containing movie library and entire iTunes library wired to Airport Extreme
Speakers wired to Airport Express
Airport Express wireless to Airport Extreme
MBP wireless to Airport Extreme
Now I have movies and music wherever again. I love this shit.
