is there any LAN browser, or some command I could use to get to my other computer on LAN. (something like samba) I am a "newlinuxuser" so do understend me Posted by larkl on Feb. 24 2006,22:44
I would search this forum and the internet for the command smbclient. This will work if a text-based option is OK.

Samba is available under MyDSL-->Net. If you download it you will find a icon on your desk top. Without doing anything it should be able to see other windows computers on the LAN assuming they have been configured with a workgroup and with a little investigation and work you can configure /etc/samba/smb.conf so that your window machines can see the DSL computer. Any other Linux computers that also have their smb.conf file configured will also see the share.
