Browsing Windows networks with konqueror is not going to work unless LISa is configured and running. To configure LISa open KDE Control Centre as , select Network>LanBrowsing and then go through the setup wizard. The LISa configuration will be saved as /etc/lisarc Now you must configure LISa to start on boot. To do this edit /etc/rc.local and at the end put the command lisa -c /etc/lisarc LISA will now run at boot and you will be able to browse using konqueror. However.... Personally I do not use it, because I find Windows networks easier to browse using komba2. To use Komba2 just install the komba2 rpm and start it from Kmenu>Networking>Other You should be able to immediately browse windows networks. To mount a share just right click on it, enter the password, right click again and mount. It will mount be default under ~/komba/hostname HTH derek
