I answered by mail but I realize that for added transparency I should perhaps reply here too:

Not sure what exactly what type of smbclient output you wish. I haven't
used this utility before. I don't have any problems listing the shares
on all the computers in the HOME workgroup with the -L flag. See below.

There are currently five computers on-line on the home network, two
Ubuntu machines, two XP machines and one machine running Vista. Not sure
what the "Domain" parameter in the smbclient output means. No Windows
domain is set on any computer. All machines have workgroup set to "HOME"
but that doesn't show for the Windows machines.

If I try smbclient -L=* then I only get one of the computers (Solbacka)
listed as below. Not sure if "*" is a valid value.

I also did smbfind (see below). It would only list the two Ubuntu
computers currently on the network. Not sure if the Windows machines are
supposed to be listed. It certainly looks so in some of the examples on
Internet.

After several tries to open the Windows Network in Nautilus, all five
servers are listed in the smb://home/ view. The network:/// view only
shows three computers. After computer restart the correct list appears in
the network:/// view.

In Windows, the My Network Places window shows all servers and shares
currently on the network (and a few that aren't currently on-line).

Overall, the different ways to look at the network (through Windows,
smbclient, smbfind, Nautilus) give an inconsistent view with respect to
available servers and workgroup assignment. And again, this is after
coming back from hibernation.

Please let me know what smbclient commands you'd like to have the output
from so that I can assist you better.

Thanks!
