Ah!  This is one of those nagging issues that has eluded a fix for me. 
I have seen the same behavior, FC 1 you could see the other Windows
systems and Samba servers via the Network Servers item in the main menu.

But under FC 2 this is always empty.

What is interesting is if I select browse folder (right click on the
home icon) and put smb://nameofserver in the location I get the password
requester and can see the shares on that server.

I looked for the "lisa" service but did not see that.  What package is
that part of?
