xfce and tcp/ip

Hello folks.

I am hoping someone can help me.  I'm trying to find an Xfce equivalent to LISa, the kde "Network Neighborhood" tool that relies on tcp/ip.

I looked at LISa itself, but when  I go to install it, it insists on installing kde libs.  I would like to to avoid that at all costs.

This implementation is for BEL Project. We are using Xfce to make a "Terminal" disk.  essentially, providing a distro/disk to install on the low end machines that are used on production floors and work areas in small to mid sized locations. 

So far, it is all coming together very well, but  I was really hoping to have a LISa-like app to make it even better.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: xfce and tcp/ip

There are several nice implementations available that work fairly well, only one I can think of off hand is LinNeighborhood (http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/index.html).  Might search freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net to find others as well

Sorry it has taken so long to get back.

Thank you for your help.

I have been looking through those and think we have some pretty decent options.

Re: xfce and tcp/ip

I wonder if there's a Thunar-integrated extension for this purpose?
