Samba shares missing from Dolphin after kde update.

Hello,

After the recent KDE update my samba shares are missing from the Network section on Dolphin. I got it working in the last version by setting the samba use flag for kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves. I checked that it is still set and tried also setting it globally. Any ideas?

Basically a "me too" except I am working from a brand new installation. I am new to gentoo but have used openSUSE for several years. I can open a dolphin browser, click on "Network" and on the right there is an entry "Samba shares" but when I expand this no workgroups are visible. I have tried importing a working smb.conf from my openSUSE installation but it did not help. Running "nmblookup" lists all the workgroups correctly. Any help is appreciated.

Problem solved on my end at least. It turned out that the problem was with my router configuration. Using dd-wrt, I had neglected to enter the "Local DNS address". Changing this to the same as the gateway address fixed it.
