One thing that is going to affect the machines showing up is the 
different workgroup name. Normally, you will only see machines in 
your own workgroup. There may be other problems, but that is one 
that jumped out at me.

Also, with the newer versions of Samba, if the host name does not 
resolve, you need to include the IP address in the mount command.
