Gnomba is a share browser for the smb protocol.

Gnomba allows you to scan any number of subnets for machines with smb. The workgroups, machines and share are shown in a tree-view.

For each machine you can then view the list of shares, and mount, unmount or browse them.

Right now gnomba is a separate tool. In theory it could/should co-exist with a file manager, perhaps even be part of it. We have made no attempt to do any file browsing, instead we leave that for your favorite file browser (or command line).

Well, I used to explain here how we don't use smb "master browser" scanning. However now we do. If you specify smb scanning (which is set by default) you need to have smbd and nmbd running on your machine.

If you specify IP scanning, you must specify a range of IPs to scan. This is usually just your subnet, so for instance if your network address is 10.23.45.0 then you would probably want to scan from 10.23.45.1 - 10.23.45.254.
