I don't have a mac in front of me, but don't you just simply go to Tools -> Connect To Server then type in smb://IPADDRESS ?

Why is this difficult, and what would a better alternative be?

or ...focus finder forward (click empty desktop or command-tab to finder or click dock finder) and hit command-k.

open works with loads of protocols, not just files, for example 'open vnc://host' works out of the box.
