Browsing Samba in Nautilus

[Christopher A. Williams]

Anyone know how to get around this problem? Whenever I try to use
Nautilus to browse an SMB network, I get the following message:

Couldn't display "smb:///", because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB
master browser.
Check that an SMB server is running in the local network.

No matter what I do, I can not browse at the workgroup level via
Nautilus. Oddly enough, I can look specifically at my shares using a SMB
URL pointing to my system.

Running Windows XP in a VMware Workstation VM produces similar results.
I can see the Samba server shares (Public) if I look for it
specifically, but I can not see the workgroup or the servers in the
workgroup. A copy of my current smb.conf file follows. Ideas?

=== sample smb.conf file =====
