Internet Exchange Management software encyclopedia under Linux System

While using Linux * as a system, finding other resources on the local area network is a hassle, but most people don't want their computers to be lonely, so finding their own "internet neighbors" is a very important thing. Here are four very convenient, easy-to-use software, will let you look for "network neighbors" immediately become simple and incomparable.

Gnomba―― move quickly.

This graphical tool allows you to scan computers based on SMB protocols in different area subnets faster than Windows 9X scans when you open Network Neighborhood. The website http://gnomba.darkcorner.net/can be downloaded to the latest program version of the "gnomba-0.6.2.tar.gz" Zip Pack or the rpm file "gnomba-0.6.2-1.i386.rpm". The rpm file only needs to right-click the mouse in the X-window document manager, select "Install" to install normally. The size of the rpm file is 166KB, the compressed package needs to be unpacked before it can be installed, in the "Terminal" window we can do this:

TAR-ZXF gnomba-0.6.2.tar.gz

CD gnomba-0.6.2

./configure

Make

Make install

After a successful installation, an executable document Gnomba is generated in the/usr/bin directory, double-click it in the document manager, or type "Gnomba" directly in "Terminal" to start the software.

To see other computers on the LAN, you must specify an IP address range to allow Gnomba Scan, click on the "Options" menu "Preferences", in the "Configuration" to the right of the frame to scan the IP address range, click "Add" Join. The "Options" frame allows you to make some initial settings for your program, such as setting up a scan of the specified IP address range when you start the program. Some of the other settings include fonts and the selection of initial loading directories. Press "OK" to exit setup.

After you have selected a range of IP addresses, click the "(RE) Scan" item in the "File" menu to see the computers that are included in the IP address, and can be displayed in a number of ways, such as workgroup or host name.

With the mouse click on its host name, the software will be the host of the shared directory to retrieve, click on the shared directory, the program will be loaded into the preset directory. Although the software still has some problems (loading and unloading the directory), but its convenient IP address scanning function is still worth a try.

Linneighborhood―― Professional Tools

This software, as its name suggests, is a "Network Neighborhood" graphics tool that applies to Linux * as a system. The latest version of the program can be found in the website http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/, the size is 129KB. The software does not need to be installed and can be executed directly after the unpack:
