Newbie Questions

[Matthew Boehm]

Hey,
    I have just dipped into the Samba realm and can't seem to figure some
stuff out. We have a very large internal network here at my university. Just
pop open 'Network Neighborhood' and you are flooded with about 20 groups
each containing anywhere between 1 and 5 computers.

    My first question is this: How can I get a listing of all the groups
that are available? I heard something about a master server. How do I found
out what the name of that computer is?

    My second question is how can I mount a share via IP? I was able to do
this successfully: smbmount //BLAH/shared /mnt/windows where BLAH is any
computer under any workgroup. Lets say the IP of computer BLAH is
129.116.35.55. How can I use smbmount to mount the shared folder 'music' of
that computer?

Thanks,
Matthew
