I added
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/lisa ]; then
echo "Starting LISa daemon..."
/usr/local/bin/lisa
fi
to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

on bootup it tells me LISa is running but if I use a browser to access lan://machine-name I get an error telling me I need to have LISa running and to contact my system admin - I am the admin

[Emon]

if [ -x /opt/kde/bin/lisa ]; then
echo "Starting LISa daemon..."
/opt/kde/bin/lisa
echo "Done"
fi

NOTE the change in line one & three

HTH

oops my bad. I had changed the lines to /opt/ked/bin/lisa I hadn't added the echo "DONE" though.

On boot it runs through loading LISa and so on then shows DONE but I am still getting the same error.

[Emon]

Did you configure LISa??
If not then got to

Control Center > Internet & Network > Local Network Browsing > LISa Daemon

and do whatever configuration you have to do.

no joy, I've tried default settings, suggested settings, listing ip's individually and by ranges.

Short Story
-----------

try this

lan://localhost/machine-name

OR

lan://localhost/machine-ip

Long Story
----------

I have got 4 machines on a home LAN starting from

192.170.0.1 to 192.170.0.4 With subnet mask 255.255.255.0

This is how the file /etc/lisarc looks after configuring LISa

******************
SecondWait = -1
SearchUsingNmblookup = 0
DeliverUnnamedHosts = 1
FirstWait = 30
MaxPingsAtOnce = 256
UpdatePeriod = 300
PingAddresses = 192.170.0.0/255.255.255.0;
AllowedAddresses = 192.170.0.0/255.255.255.0;
BroadcastNetwork = 192.170.0.1/255.255.255.0;
PingNames =
******************

For example, when I do this (in Konqueror) lan://192.170.0.3/

I get an error message

***********
The Lisa daemon does not appear to be running.
In order to use the LAN Browser the Lisa daemon must be installed and activated by the system administrator.
***********

But when I do this lan://localhost/192.170.0.3

everything is fine

Now don't ask me what's the difference, I am no guru, just an ordinary newbie

So if this doesn't get you out of trouble; I don't know what will.. but let still let us know how it goes

Best of Luck

my /etc/lisarc file is pretty much the same
----------------
AllowedAddresses = 172.16.32.0/255.255.255.224;
BroadcastNetwork = 172.16.32.31/255.255.255.224;
DeliverUnnamedHosts = 1
FirstWait = 30
MaxPingsAtOnce = 256
PingAddresses = 172.16.32.0/255.255.255.224;
PingNames =
SearchUsingNmblookup = 0
SecondWait = -1
UpdatePeriod = 300
----------------

However, whether I enter the machine name or ip I get the LISa daemon does not appear to be running message.
I have noticed that Konqueror adds a trailing slash to the end each time and you say that if you have a slash on the end you get the error too.
Maybe this is why I am getting the error?

[Emon]

No no!!! ....

trailing slash is not the problem

trying doing this

lan://localhost/machine-ip

instead of this

lan://machine-ip

You're a genius and I just totally lived up to being blonde
Thank you.

You (and the other guys who helped me with my other "problems") are a credit to this site.
Thanks to you guys I have a functioning slackware install, connected to the internet via a lan and am able to access files on my other machines.
