questions and wierd problems

First off, is there a way to get a list of all the workgroups on a subnet
without having to know a master to get a workgroup list from?

Secondly, I'm on a network which has no WINS server.  When I first got
here, i used samba and everything was fine.  I could browse around finding
computers via the workgroup lists and browse lists that the workgroup
masters had.  However, about a month ago, the workgroup lists and browse
lists started disappearing.  There are only a few computers on the network
which still have them.  Now the only way i have of figuring out what
computers are in what workgroup is by using "nmblookup workgroup".  In
addition to the lists disappearing, my computer and my friend's computer
(who is also running samba and in the same workgroup as me) have begun to
show up in almost every workgroup list that is left on the network. 

Any ideas on why this has happened?
