Several People ask how I did that, so here it is. My estimation it is much easier than LinNeighborhood. Make sure Samba and LISa are installed from the CD. Go into YAST2, system, run level editor and make sure smbfs is running and lisa are running. If not, set them for run level 3 and 5 and start them from the run level editor. In control panel, Network, select Windows shares, put in your logon and password. In control panel, Network, select Lan Browsing, set up the Lisa Daemon using the guided setup with all defaults. I put in the name of the DNS server on the first tab of the Lan browsing dialog box, it automatically came up with my IP address and mask. After doing the setup, then click the "Apply" button. Then go to Konqueror and in the address box type in "lan:/" It should then show all of the network computers as IP address. I then pinged the computers by name, got their ip address, clicked on the IP address in Konqueror, then the SMB foldler. I then bookmarked that, then changed the bookmark name to the computer name. Hope this helps.

I have finally managed to be able to browse a Win2K network with Konqueror. Only problem is, the computers are shown by their IP address. Is there anyway to get this to show up as the computer name such as Datacenter instead of the IP address other than renaming a bookmark? I am running the LISa daemon and set it up with the control panel. I can also ping the computer name and get the IP address.
Also, is there anyway to map this as a folder instead of using a bookmark?
Forgot to mention, this is KDE with SuSE 8.0.

Would you be willing to post exactly how you got it to work? That LISa program is a little confusing...
