Network Servers unable to browse network

I have gone around this problem multiple times in the last month or
two.
Under FC1 and FC2 there is a Network Servers item in the menu. Under
FC1 I can select this and get a window that lists the workgroups seen by
the server. Clicking on the workgroup I can then see and browse any of
the windows or samba servers on the network. Works as expected under
FC1.
I have yet to see this work under FC2. When I select the Network
Servers item it waits a few seconds then displays an icon saying Windows
Network. Select that icon I get an empty window.
I can use the Connect to Server option under the file menu just fine.
So I don't believe I have any kind of a firewall issue. I can connect
to smb shares to and from the FC2 systems in question, just do not see
any systems listed under the Network Servers windows.
I see the same behavior on multiple FC2 systems.
I recall some past discussion about this on the list but I do not
remember seeing any kind of resolution.
Have I missed the solution for this? Or is this a known problem that
has not been resolved yet?
