  Gnomba is basically a GUi or frontend to the smbclient at the moment, I 
believe.  It scans through a set number of IPs and ceates a list of the 
machines running shares(whether they be Samba OR Windows).  You can then 
browse the shares, but you can tell it's not done but its a pretty good 
program.... I wanna see Corel's network browser though(HAs anyone seen this?)

  You have to share onto your machine before you can browse it... to do 
this you double click on it(then you use gmc to browse it)  I still have 
yet to figure out how to get this to work(I prolly need to get my kernel 
recompiled and compile in smbmount :-)

   This was one of the original purposes of the program I believe, so you 
wouldn't have to go through the text smbclient
