List windows shares/computers

Question

On Ubuntu, how can I get a list of all windows machines/shares on the network? I tried smbclient, but it only seems to list the shares of a known machine.

Use smbtree:

marco@hostname:~$ smbtree
Enter marco's password:
NETWORKNAME
    \\HOST_1        hostname
        \\HOST_1\RESOURCE1    comment 
        \\HOST_1\RESOURCE2    comment 
        ...
    .
    .
    .
    \\HOST_N        hostname
        \\HOST_N\RESOURCE1    comment 
        \\HOST_N\RESOURCE2    comment 
        ...
