Browse networks?

[A. Buza]

I'm on a campus network, and was wondering how I could see all the other systems (a friend of mine has a file sharing dir set up). I could do this w/ network neighboorhood in win, and I assume there would be a simmilar command in linux but all I could find was netstat, but while I could get it to list my open tcp/etc conns, I couldn't make peek around the network. Anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be gratefull. Thanks http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Also, the fact that they're win systems should't matter, right?

You need to get SAMBA...at least the client side. You could use that through the CLI(the non-graphic part of linux). Or, you could install GNOMBA with SAMBA to use a graphical interface.
The reason you can't see a windows network is because a windows network uses the SMB protocol. Linux can't see this network without SAMBA(SMB with an A)installed.

Hope this helps,
