Chapter 1. Introduction

LISa is intended to provide a kind of “network neighborhood”, but only relying on the TCP/IP protocol stack, no smb or whatever.

It is completely independent from KDE/Qt™.

The list of running hosts is provided via TCP port 7741.

LISa supports two ways of finding hosts:

  1. You give LISa a range of IP addresses, then LISa will send ICMP echo requests to all given IP addresses, and wait for the answers.

  2. You can tell LISa to execute nmblookup "*. The command line tool nmblookup must be installed from the Samba package. nmblookup "*" sends a broadcast to the attached networks, and all hosts running SMB services will answer this broadcast.
