XFFM does not show all available smb workgroups/domains if they are on
different subnet. However, it is possible to get those names by:
1. runing nmblookup as it is now and tak IP of our MB
2. quering MB with smbclient and take workgroup names and their MBs.
Comment 1 edscott editbugs 2004-02-07 14:37:32 CET
Actually, xfsamba works the way you suggest. Each workgroup has one master
browser per subnet, and the only way to "see" workstations on the other
subnet is to query the master broswer on that subnet. Master browsers from all
subnets should appear in every MB workstation list, but you have to guess which
one is which.

MB from workgroups on other subnets may or may not appear on the local subnet
MB, depending on local routing network configuration and WINS set up.

Please check xfsamba from xfce-3.18 (may coexist with xfce 4.x) and see if it
works better. There are some minor differences and a comparison feedback would
help.
