there will be "Network Servers " its work as network borwser, i dont know which distro r u using.
Nautilus works behind Netwok Servers , if u unable to fine network servers and fine nautilus and type smb:/// at Location and press enter it will search for all available workgroup and domain name.

and further try to use Samba Server GUI tool, its easy to use

Thanks and regards

I have been trying to figure out how to browse my windows domains and workgroups but when I use smb:/// in Nautilus it does not work. I mount some share windows directories in Linux but I will really like to be able to browse the Net.

I am using Mandrake 8.1 kernel 2.4.8 if someone has any idea or recomendation I will appreciate it
