samba - May 2014 - Maybe not related to Samba - Shares don't show up on desktop

Now that most things seem to be functioning, I'm wondering about 
something else.

On a Netware system, when I view the Microsoft  Network, I see the 
machines that are active on the network. I can open the servers and see 
any shares on that server. I can then right-click on the share and map 
to a network drive

Currently on our pretend server, I can see the server but cannot open it 
to see shares on that server. I therefore must know what I want to map a 
drive to before I map it.

Is there any setting that makes the shares show up under the server 
similar to the way it does on Netware?

I think I have all of the permissions set properly for the user on the 
Windows machine to see the shares. I can map them without any problems. 
I just can't see them to select them.

I have to thank all of you for making this task of Samba AD so clear. 
It's amazing how the light turns on after a few nudges from informed folk.

Unfortunately there is no network browsing with samba4, if you need 
this, you will need to set up a member server and store your shares 
there, this will be visible on the network. If you decide to go down 
this path, just ask and you will be pointed at the required info.
