No, actually system-config-samba directly writes share information to
/etc/samba/smb.conf, whereas nautilus-share adds them via "net usershare" which
lands in /var/lib/samba/usershares/. If you've added the shares in both
system-config-samba and nautilus-share, then you've defined them twice, and I'm
not sure how Samba reacts to that.
Could you post the terminal output of "net usershare info", please?

As for needing to connect with the IP address.. well I think it's normal. It's
fairly normal for even Windows to fail to find other Windows machines on the
network, and SMB is a Windows-originated protocol. You could try using
smb://machinename.local/ instead, though. That resolves IP addresses using a
different stack (Avahi/zeroconf), and works much more reliably than the typical
WINS method.
