LIsa LAN browser only lists 127.0.0.0/24 folders


I have lisa and winbind daemons running in one box. The LAN is composed by Fedora-only boxes, one of which with a samba server.

When I click on the LAN browser icon in Konqueror the address lan://localhost/ just lists folders localhost.localdomain and all 127.0.0.*. (snapshot konqueror lisa lan).

Entering the addresses of other boxes in the LAN, or their names as per /etc/hosts doesn't display anything.

How can I do that?

Also, why all 127.0.0.0/24 folders contain the same subfolders and files as localhost.localdomain's?

Thanks.

Os

Fedora: 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4
KDE: 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 Red Hat

still at a lost

There are other five computers in the LAN, but I still get these 127.0.0.X addresses only.

Would you recommend any other KDE app to browse the LAN?

Is there any command to detect other computers in the LAN?

hi

I know I dont answer your question but let me ask you another
here when you type 127.0.0.0/24
what the 24 stands for? I see it sometimes it is 20 some times 16
what is it?

127.0.0.0/24 is a convention to write the addresses 127.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.255 and all the addresses in between.
