I agree with the previous post about checking the smb.conf
file with a text editor.

If making the shares 'browseable' doesn't work either,
you might try this:

find the Samba machine with the 'find' button, 
then copy and paste a new link in the network 
neighborhood browse window. 

It's a cheesy fix, but it worked for us when we lost 
the icon after mapping the samba share to a network 
drive. In this case the share was 'browseable' in
smb.conf, but we still couldn't get the icon back.

After installing a newer version of Samba a year later
the problem didn't occur again.
