samba can't see windows shares

I have a strange problem with Samba. Running under Suse 9.1, with
Samba 3.04, I can browse the shares on a Linux box from machines
running Windows 2k with no problems. Everything works as it should.
But I can't see Windows shares (or for that matter, the Linux shares)
from any linux file manages. I can, and do access windows drives using
smbmount. But whenever I try, using conqueror, or the XFCE file
manager, to see shares on the Windows machines, I can't find anything,
and the attempt to see things manually, with nmblookup -M gives me a
name_query error. Frantic googling turns up nothing helpful. Can
anyone here help?
