[Samba] SMB share visible but not its work group

Hi,
I have set up some samba shares to give my win98-under-qemu-virtual-machine
read and write access to the linux host. While testing the setup using
konqueror (smb:/ in the address bar), I discovered that I can get a specific
share (for example, smb://localhost/tmp), but could not see the work group
and its available computers and shares. Thus, simply typing [enter] after
entering "smb:/" in the konqueror address bar gives me an error message.
What do I need to do to have konqueror see what shares are out there? By the
way, what is the work group name for?
For your reference, I am adding my smb.conf file:
[root at localhost samba]# cat smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2006/10/29 23:11:14
[global]
workgroup = SOME_GROUP
server string = Samba Server
interfaces = 127.0.0.1
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
cups options = raw
[tmp]
path = /tmp
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
Thanks for your help,
AF
