lisa problems in konqueror

How do you get lisa to work. It says it starts and stops okay
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/lisa stop
* Stopping lisa... [ ok ]
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/lisa start
* Starting lisa... [ ok ]
bash-2.05b#

my smb network in konq works okay when I type smb://80gig all my windows shares are thier and
are accessable. But when I hit the lan button i get this
The lisa daemon does not appear to be running.
Konq says:
In order to use the LAN Browser the lisa daemon must be installed and
activated by the system administrator.

these are the order gentoo says the config files are run
There are three files which will be sourced for possible configuration by
the rc-scripts. They are (sourced from top to bottom):

/etc/conf.d/basic
/etc/conf.d/lisa
/etc/rc.conf

So what stupid thing am i doing wrong?

[robertmcm]

I tried another little move this mornig by trying to force lisa to reload a new configuration file
and this is what I got back. Maybe lisa does not work anymore. This just bugs the hell out of me
when i get an error that i don't understand! This is just to bring you uptodate. Info on this is hard to find.

Okay I have got a new install on a different box and lisa just works by doing what I did before. I have copied my config file over to the box with problems and that did not help. I still have not ferreted out the reason it does not work. I am still scrwing around withit. Will keep you posted. When i figure out what is differant between the two boxes maybe it will help us. Finding info on this is hard. Good luck.

[robertmcm]

I found out what my problem was. It might be affecting others to. My localhost name in my host file was changed to my machine name. I must of did the when I installed gentoo on this box.
It also scewed up swat but now both work wonderfull. Make sure to check your hosts file.

127.0.0.1 localhost #

I have screwed with this box so much I may have to reload it one of these days. But no blue screens of death. Win server would have gave up on me weeks ago with all the things i have screwed with. Hope this helps someone else.

I tried to get it work, but then I just gave up and used smb. Works like a charm.

This looks like an old thread, but I will post my fix anyway in case someone can use it.

I was getting the same error when trying to use lisa, "Lisa daemon does not appear to be running."

I fixed this by editing my smb.conf file and changing the interfaces field to read "my ip/my netmask". Obviously samba will have to be running for this to make any difference.

I don't know why this helped, but I am able to browse network shares just fine now.
