Ah! This is one of those nagging issues that has eluded a fix for me.
I have seen the same behavior, FC 1 you could see the other Windows
systems and Samba servers via the Network Servers item in the main menu.
But under FC 2 this is always empty.
What is interesting is if I select browse folder (right click on the
home icon) and put smb://nameofserver in the location I get the password
requester and can see the shares on that server.
I looked for the "lisa" service but did not see that. What package is
that part of?

A long-range plan whose merit cannot be evaluated until sometime
