[newbie] LISa
Trying to set her up and have encountered some problems. I have gone though the inital setup and have confirmed that it is running however when I try to browse my lan in Konqueror it tells me the lisa daemon is not running and needs to be setup by the admin. Any ideas? Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

When you click on the scan button it broadcasts to search for hosts. If it does not find anything just put an IP address range which covers the entire subnet used by your DHCP. There is also the 'Scan every workgroup' and 'scan every host' options in settings which may help you. When you find a host and its shares you must set a password for the share before it can be mounted. Just right click on the share, set the password, and save it, then in future you can just click on shares to mount them. If komba still does not find hosts I would start asking if a firewall is active? It is worth while getting Komba working. Not only is it very pretty, but it is also a lot faster than using konqueror to browse samba networks as this item says. http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=2169&lang=en derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

For the first time I can see my machine and samba directory under Local Network (is this how it's used?), but I can't see the 2 windows machines.

RE: Re: [newbie] LISa
It works for me, I set it up under the GUI. I get a strange problem in that Konq reports that it cannot contact localhost. Very strange since localhost resolves properly and everything else knows what localhost is. Anyway this busies Konq out (where you are probably getting the crash).

RE: [newbie] LISA
Konqueror utilizes Lisa and Reslisa to do this. It seems that you've set up the broadcast addresses properly to do this, but you may have not gone into "Windows Shares" in the control panel and set things up there. You need to go there and set up your Workgroup name (which should be the SAME as all other Windows computer's) and then enter the default username and password. This username and password is one that you must have used at least ONCE to log into the windows machine(s) you are attempting to browse. After you've done this, fire up Lisa and Reslisa again, and you should be able to browse. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of shane |Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 2:57 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] LISA | | |sorry, i wasn't clear... | |On Thursday 25 October 2001 10:20, you spoke unto me thusly: |> Komba requires Samba to mount the shares. | |yep, and komba runs fine, so thus i know samba also runs. | |> You should first try manually mounting the Windows Shares |using samba. | |both manually and in komba i can browse and mount with no |trouble. it is |browsing in konq by way of smb://ipaddy/ or |smb://hostname/share/ that i |can't do anything. it does see the machines (a win2000 and a |win98) and it |shows the shares, but i can not browse the shares themselves. | |-- |I used to be confused, but now I am not that sure anymore.. | |shane |registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/ http://www.mystic-light.net/personal/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org cause humans do it better!

RE: [newbie] LISA
LM8.0 put the lisa configuration files in the wrong place! You need to move the reslisarc and lisarc file that the KDE Control panel creates to ~/.reslisarc & ~/.lisarc respectively. Use the control panel to add your subnet broadcast address and workgroup computers you want scanned. Lastly, you'll need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.local to add the startup for the actual lisa and reslisa program. Under LM8.1 relisa dies if I start it this way and I am forced to run it manually as root. It becomes a daemon once run and permits you to browse the Winblows machines from within Konqueror. AFAIK you still need Samba to actually access them, although I may be wrong on this...

[newbie] LISa setup tip
For reasons I will not go into Windoze trashed my hard disc and forced me to re install Mandrake 8.0 Network browsing using LISa had previously been working, but after the reinstall I could not get it to work despite having succeeded previously. Checking the newbie archive I saw that many other newbies had had similar troubles and had not had a satisfactory reply. So when I found the answer I thought it worth posting it on the mailing list. Not only does LISa require a configuration file, lisarc to be stored somewhere where LISA can find it on startup, as has been reported several times in the archives, but there is a second common problem which is that even when the Lisa configuration has been defined in Control Center/Networking it is still only possible to use konquerer to browse the network when logged in under root. Many newbies found like myself that when logged in under a normal user any attempt to browse using konquerer would give a message "Networking has not been set up. Go to control Center/Networking and set up the parameters you see there" However these parameters can only be set up under root, and root already has no problem browsing the network. The solution I found in the kde e-mail archives here :- http://www.kde.com/maillists/show.php?q=control%20center%20LISa&f=1&l=20&sb=rank&o=d&v=search&mq=42184&m=392640 To fix the problem all you have to do is let knoqueror know that you have already set up the LISa config by placing a file called kio_lanrc in the .kde/share/config directory of each user. The contents of kio_lanrc should be :- AlreadyConfigured=true Support_FTP=0 Support_HTTP=0 Support_NFS=0 Support_SMB=0 Then it all works. Hope this helps some other poor soul who has been beating their head against the desk :) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The problem i have now is that i'm struggling to get Linux box to access w98 shares. I have tried 'browsing network' using LISa and reLISa in KDE. However, no joy. Basically the problem is that i don't really know what information to give it. I am attempting to configure in KDE Control centre, -> Look n Feel -> Lan Browsing. Is there a way i can mount the w98 shares on the linux box? how would i go about doing this. Or betting yet does anyone know of any good websites which give help.
