In Gnome, you can use the edit button next to the directory name to
see the path.

A more universal methods, is to look for it from the 'mount' command's
output. (samba mounts are supposed to be smbfs / cifs IIRC)

If it uses the smb:// notation, you would probably need to mount it
manually before using it in Wine. (a FUSE driver that enables you to
browser the entire Winodws network within a directory exist as well)

iSCSI might be a more elegant (but a lot harder to setup) solution
(and MIGHT (with the right features) allow things like games' copy
protection and writing to the remote drive to work...) You would need
a iSCSI target on the Windows box and an initiator on the Linux box...

Some targets for Windows with free versions (that seem to support
exporting an entire drive):
