Windows 7 Virtual Machine - workgroup HOMELAN
Debian 7  Virtual Machine - workgroup VWRKGRP - samba version 3.6
Arch SOA on x86-64 virtual machine - workgroup  WORKGROUP - samba
version 4.2

All VMs on the same sub-net. No problems browsing shares on Windows 7. 
No problems on real machines either on home network.  Seeing samba
shares across sub-nets is a different matter.  But I would guess the
average home user with more than one machine will just have everything
on the same sub-net.  

Many moons ago, in the days of dial-up modems, I configured a 3 machine
home network where one machine was used as a dedicated router/firewall,
print and file server using samba shares with multiple NICS ip
forwarding/ip tables etc. Had to get my head round  Domain Master
Browsers and Samba name resolution etc. 

This is stuff I have long forgotten, and probably would take an age to
get right today.  So, I was a bit surprised to see those entries in
Triode's default smb.conf on SOA.  It's all much simpler these days for
home users with the typical ADSL/router/Switch device with an inbuilt
firewall.
