"could not connect to host - localhost"

[Adams, Christopher]

See here is the problem Ron.

In KDE versions older than 2.1.0,  Samba network browsing worked.
With the introduction of the new KDE 2.1.0+ the browsing was bugged.

So work arounds have been found.  One of them has been using LISA and
Komba2.

Give me a second and I will see if I can locate where Komba can be found in
KDE.  It's been a while since I last used it.  I'll respond back to you with
a location.

         I went looking and couldn't find "Komba2." The only thing I found 
about Lisa was a setup screen on the Control Panel but couldn't find 
anything else about it.

         Can't even see the windows shares at the moment.

         Hmmmm, see above.

         Thanks again for all your help.
