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!
