This is only happening for me when the samba server is not a master browser.
Just confirmed that this way:

1. Powered off entire home network and disconnected all devices.
2. Disallowed my local samba to participate in a master browser election.
3. Powered on my home router and also powered on a notebook with M$ 7.
4. Since the router also has a samba server on board which has a higher
priority than M$ 7 and thus becomes a master browser.
5. I can browse my network from the notebook but in dolphin I see an error
messages that it is unable to find work groups/ 
6. Edited my smb.conf and forced my local server to be a master browser (set os
level = 255 and preferred master = yes)
7. Reloaded smb.conf and forced the election
8. Restarted dolphin and my network is browseable now

The problem is in that my PC is not always up and other network devices are
often see the network unavailable (when I power on/off my PC it causes an
election to happen). So I want to have my router as a master and local browser.
But in that case I can't browse network from samba machines.
