Browsing and authentication are separate issues.
Also, there are differences between bowsing workgroups vs. domains in a
routed environment. The usual solution is WINS; however, you may be able to
give all macines access to a domain/workgroup browse list by using lmhosts
files or simply installing a domain member machine on the workgroup subnet.

In order to actually access resources on a DC over the network, the user
must, at a minimum, present credentials listed in the Domain Controllers
OU/Group Policy/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/User
Rights Assignment - Access this computer from the network.
