Find a name of _any_ server in your workgroup (must be a server, not
only a workstation". Say
smbclient -L server -U%
It will give you a list with at least one workgroup and the master.
Now ask the master:
smbclient -L master -U%
It will give you a list with all known workgroups and their masters.
Regards,
Robert
