machines

you seem to see the computers netbios names but get no browse list of
all the invidual machines
also it would be nice to know if you're network is WORKGROUP based or if
you use a domain, ...

try this

smbclient -NL //computername

this will attempt a anonymous browselisting of the machine named
computername
