What bug? Theres nothing wrong with KDE networking. That 'Localhost not found' was because you clicked on Network>local Network in konqueror which is used for browsing Samba networks. If you have not set up Samba and an application called LISa thats what will happen.
There are 2 ways to share files in Linux, NFS and Samba NFS is Linux only, is easy to set up, but is less secure and requires you to have exactly the same user accounts and UID numbers on both computers. Once set up you can mount folders using kwikdisk, and can browse the network using any file manager Konqueror/Nautilus etc. Refer to the docs section at www.mandrakeuser.org for details of how to set it up. Mandrake Control Centre>Mount Points now has a GUI to set up NFS but until you read about it you will not understand how to use the GUI. The second way is Samba Samba allows you to share files between Linux to Linux, and Linux to Windows. Refer to mandrakeuser for setting it up. (Webmin is a good tool) Once set up you can browse Samba networks with applications like Komba2 for KDE or Gnomba for Gnome to mount folders which can then be browsed with a file manager. There is a lot of references on Mandrakeuser and in the archives of this list about setting up Samba and NFS.
