I think the correct one should be smb://hostname (as in ftp://hostname, 
ftp://hostname, and so on).
Not sure where to put the workgroup.
Maybe smb://hostname.workgroup. IMHO we have this problem since this is a 
strange design of the smb protocol, because it mixes two different purposes, 
providing access to shares from hosts (like ftp, http, nfs,...) and to lists 
of these hosts.

That's what I separated cleanly with the smbro ioslave and the lan ioslave.
There you always have protocol://the_server_host, whereas for lan://somehost 
somehost is the host which provides a list of hosts (which is in this case 
the ressource),  and the protocols ftp, http, smb, which also provide access 
to the ressources of the hosts, i.e. to the more or less files accessible 
from this host.
