Couldn't display "smb:///", because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB master browser.
Check that an SMB server is running in the local network.

What?!
I'm tempted to delete this right now- much too vague.

You need to give us much more information than that before we can even begin to help.

To start with (at the very least):

- The distro and version of Linux you use.

- A full description of your network environment.

- The contents of your smb.conf file.

Check the file /etc/samba/smb.conf for a line like....
local master = yes

There are a bunch of other settings in there that need to be set up properly. Then the smb service needs to be restarted with the
command:
service smb restart

Your message is a bit short on info.
