I think so.

I received the following suggestions:

KNN (KDE Network Neighbourhood)
kLanmon
kLanManager (it doesn't actually "manage" anything)
kLMBrowse       (sounds really ugly)

KNN I like most, but it doesn't sound so good.


Further suggestions ?

Is there anybody with access to a Novell Netware or a Appletalk LAN ?
I started support for Novell but I can't test it, can anybody help me ?

Is there a function (IP or ICMP) which I can use to detect all running hosts
in my LAN ?
(something  like a broadcast and every running host answers me, something
like "ping all")

Bye
Alex
