LISa Network Neighborhood Setup

Advanced Settings

<qt><p>This wizard will ask you a few questions about your network.</p> <p>Usually you can simply keep the suggested settings.</p> <p>After you have finished the wizard, you will be able to browse and use shared resources on your LAN, not only Samba/Windows shares, but also FTP, HTTP and NFS resources exactly the same way.</p> <p>Therefore you need to setup the <i>LAN Information Server</i> (LISa) on your machine. Think of the LISa server as an FTP or HTTP server; it has to be run by root, it should be started during the boot process and only one LISa server can run on one machine.</qt>

<qt><p>More than one network interface card was found on your system.</p><p>Please choose the one to which your LAN is connected.</p></qt>

<qt><p><b>No network interface card was found on your system.</b></p><p>Possible reason: no network card is installed. You probably want to cancel now or enter your IP address and network manually</p>Example: <code>192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0</code>.</qt>

There are two ways LISa can search hosts on your network.

Send pings

All hosts with TCP/IP will respond,<br>whether or not they are samba servers.<br>Don't use it if your network is very large, i.e. more than 1000 hosts.<br>

Send NetBIOS broadcasts

You need to have the samba package (nmblookup) installed.<br>Only samba/windows servers will respond.<br>This method is not very reliable.<br>You should enable it if you are part of a large network.

<b>If unsure, keep it as is.</b>

All IP addresses included in the specified range will be pinged.<br>If you are part of a small network, e.g. with network mask 255.255.255.0<br>use your IP address/network mask.<br>

<br>There are four ways to specify address ranges:<br>1. IP address/network mask, like <code>192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0;</code><br>2. single IP addresses, like <code>10.0.0.23;</code><br>3. continuous ranges, like <code>10.0.1.0-10.0.1.200;</code><br>4. ranges for each part of the address, like <code>10-10.1-5.1-25.1-3;</code><br>You can also enter combinations of 1 to 4, separated by ";", like<br><code>192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0;10.0.0.0;10.0.1.1-10.0.1.100;</code><br>

This is a security related setting.<br>It provides a simple IP address based way to specify "trusted" hosts.<br>Only hosts which fit into the addresses given here are accepted by LISa as clients. The list of hosts published by LISa will also only contain hosts which fit into this scheme.<br>Usually you enter your IP address/network mask here.

<br>Enter your IP address and network mask here, like <code>192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0</code>

<br>To reduce the network load, the LISa servers in one network<br>cooperate with each other. Therefore you have to enter the broadcast<br>address here. If you are connected to more than one network, choose <br>one of the broadcast addresses.

<br>Enter the interval after which LISa, if busy, will update its host list.

sec

<br>Please note that the update interval will grow automatically by up to 16 times the value you enter here, if nobody accesses the LISa server. So if you enter 300 sec = 5 min here, this does not mean that LISa will ping your whole network every 5 minutes. The interval will increase up to 16 x 5 min = 80 min.

This page contains several settings you usually only<br>need if LISa doesn't find all hosts in your network.

Re&port unnamed hosts

Should hosts for which LISa can't resolve the name be included in the host list?<br>

Wait for replies after first scan

ms

How long should LISa wait for answers to pings?<br>If LISa doesn't find all hosts, try to increase this value.<br>

Max. number of pings to send at once

How many ping packets should LISa send at once?<br>If LISa doesn't find all hosts you could try to decrease this value.<br>

Al&ways scan twice

Wait for replies after second scan

If LISa doesn't find all hosts, enable this option.

<br>Your LAN browsing has been successfully set up.<br><br>Make sure that the LISa server is started during the boot process. How this is done depends on your distribution and OS. Usually you have to insert it somewhere in a boot script under <code>/etc</code>.<br>Start the LISa server as root and without any command line options.<br>The config file will now be saved to <code>/etc/lisarc</code>.<br>To test the server, try <code>lan:/</code> in Konqueror.<br><br>If you have problems or suggestions, visit http://lisa-home.sourceforge.net.

Congratulations!

You can use the same syntax as on the previous page.<br>

There are three ways to specify IP addresses:<br>1. IP address/network mask, like<code> 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0;</code><br>2. continuous ranges, like<code> 10.0.1.0-10.0.1.200;</code><br>3. single IP addresses, like<code> 10.0.0.23;</code><br>You can also enter combinations of 1 to 3, separated by ";", <br>like<code> 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0;10.0.0.0;10.0.1.1-10.0.1.100;</code><br>

Multiple Network Interfaces Found

No Network Interface Found

Specify Search Method

Specify Address Range LISa Will Ping

"Trusted" Hosts

Your Broadcast Address

LISa Update Interval

Tell LISa Daemon How to Search for Hosts

Send &NetBIOS broadcasts using nmblookup

Only hosts running SMB servers will answer

Send &pings (ICMP echo packets)

All hosts running TCP/IP will answer

To these &IP addresses:

Enter all ranges to scan, using the format '192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0;10.0.0.1;255.0.0.0'

&Broadcast network address:

Your network address/subnet mask (e.g. 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0;)
