Unable to find any workgroups

I've been using Samba for some time and it was working just fine. Today when I wrote smb:/ in Konqueror as I always do, I got this error: "Unable to find any workgroups in your local machine". Even if there was a problem accessing another machine on the network, which is possible, the name of the workgroup should have been displayed.

What could cause this change and how do I fix it?

Try "smb:/workgroup" instead.

If it doesnt work as well, recheck your Samba settings through the kcontrol samba module (or webmin, or any other administration tool you have handy) and get sure that it's not a firewall issue.

For using a smb client within Linux, the samba daemon does NOT have to be running.

Regards.
