I'm trying to get a list of the workgroups on my local LAN.  That's the 
definition of "SMB://".  It's basically a NetServerEnum2 to an LMB to list 
the workgroups (not the servers).  In other words, it's the top of the 
Network Neighborhood tree.

Thing is, from the trace it seems that jCIFS is doing the right thing...at
first.  It does a name lookup on the ..__MSBROWSE__.. name, connects to
the first one it finds (the only one, in this case), and does the
SessionSetup/TreeConnect to the IPC$ share.  The next thing it should do
is issue the NetServerEnum2 with the workgroup flag set to obtain the list
of workgroups.

KDE's Konqueror does this (thought it's slightly broken because it uses 
"SMB:/" instead of two slashes, but they're working on it...).  I can 
enter "SMB:/" in Konqueror and see a list of workgroups.  Click on a 
workgroup and I see the list of servers in the workgroup, etc...
