So as the name suggest, I'm looking for a way of displaying all shared folders on all shared machines in a local MS Windows network.



I can list shares on a known windows machine with:



smbclient -L //SERVER -U username


This shows me a list of shares on that server, and I can then connect it via mounting cifs, or simply connecting to the share through Thunar.



But I cannot list all machines in the network sharing folders like this.



I have a "Windows Network" icon in Thunar, but that only lists my own share which I have configured with samba. On MS Windows, it is possible to see all "nearby" machines offering shared folders, I can easily browse them, etc.



Since I can list shares with smbclient, that would be the icing on the cake, but I definitely need a way to list all available Windows computers in a network. Graphical or command line, both are alright, I'd actually prefer both.



I tried nmblookup but this does list only a few machines on the network I don't have access to. The machines with the shares I need, don't show up at all.



Also, smbtree shows up nothing, but the Windows shares are visible to all other Windows users.



Also, avahi-browse -a also doesn't return anything besides the shares already visible in Thunar, which is far from all of them.

          I use Manjaro 18 with xfce and Thunar File manager.



          I found that manually typing:
