Mandrake今日在所有的下載站點發布了用於Mandrake9的「網上鄰居」軟體包。
原文：Today, we will add a Windows-like, Network-Neighborhood area to a Linux-based computer -- in a peer-to-peer network environment. That will give us full access to all the shared resources on all the computers connected to our LAN.〈br>
大意：今天，我們為基於Linux的電腦增加了一個類似於Windows的「網上鄰居」，這個網上鄰居是針對（點對點）區域網的網路環境。它將幫助我們訪問所有連接在LAN(區域網)上的所有電腦的所有共享資源。〈br>
原文：A special Linux program such as Samba must be used so that a Linux-based computer can access shared resources on remote, networked, Windows-based computers. Configuring Samba can be difficult for Linux beginners, computer newbies, and people migrating from MS Windows to Linux. However . . .
大意：象Samba這樣的程序也可以作到這些，但是配製起來太麻煩，特別對於從Windows過渡而來的用戶。
原文：LinNeighborhood by Hans Schmid and Richard Stemmer is a very handy, third-party, Open-Source, network utility. It lets you easily see and access Windows shares on your LAN from your Linux computer. You also can use LinNeighborhood to see and access shares from other Linux-based computers on your LAN. Simply put, LinNeighborhood is a graphical front end for Samba.
大意：LinNeighborhood是一個非常方便的第三方軟體，他可以幫助你訪問windows和linux電腦上的共享資源。而且它具有可善的圖形界面！
原文：There is an easily installed Mandrake 9.0 compatible LinNeighborhood binary (RPM) located on at least some of the Mandrake download mirrors. LinNeighborhood is included in the SuSE 8.1 Professional Edition. Red Hat does not include LinNeighborhood in its Red Hat Linux distribution nor does it provide a LinNeighborhood RPM on the Red Hat FTP server.
大意：在大多數的Mandrake鏡象下載站點，我們提供了經過測試和Mandrake9兼容並且保證安裝的LinNeighborhood版本。LinNeighborhood也包括在SuSE8.1專業版中（譯者註：SuSE在歐洲僅次於Mandrake，在桌面應用領域是排名第二的Linux操作系統），紅帽子沒有提供包括這個軟體。
原文：After LinNeighborhood is installed in Mandrake 9.0 you should find it in the K-menu: K > Networking > Other > LinNeighborhood
大意：當安裝后，你可以在KDE的「開始」菜單中找到Networking > Other > LinNeighborhood，就可以運行LinNeighborhood了。
原文：Open your Home Directory folder in the KDE Konqueror file manager. Then click on Edit > Create New > Directory and name the new directory Network Neighborhood. Next, create a folder for each remote computer on your LAN from which you want to access shared resources. To do this, open your Network Neighborhood folder in the Konqueror file manager. Then click on Edit > Create New > Directory and name the new directory, for example, WindowsBox 1. Repeat that for each remote computer. In Figure 1, Network Neighborhood folders for remote computers HEW, MQM, and PLM have been so created.
大意：第一步：為你要訪問的每一台網上計算機在網上鄰居目錄中建一個目錄。
原文：When LinNeighborhood opens, it will display the domain name of your local Linux-based computer and the names of any workgroups it finds on your LAN.Double-Clicking on a workgroup results in a list of all the computers in that workgroup. Then double-click a remote-computer icon to bring up the list of shared resources on that computer.If no list of shared resources pops up, that might indicate that you need a logon and password to access the shares on that computer. That usually is the case if the remote computer is another Linux box or a Windows NT/2K machine. In such an instance, alternate-click on the remote computer's icon in the LinNeighborhood window. Then click on scan as user. That should bring up a logon/password dialog box.
大意：第二部，打開軟體后，你會看到網上的所有工作組和域，選一個工作組和域（雙擊），就會看到該組的所有電腦，選一個電腦就可以看到共享資源，如果看不到，可能意味著該電腦需要訪問許可權，你可以點「scan as user」按鈕，輸入用戶名和密碼！
原文：……
大要：以後嗎，就雙擊一個共享資源，會談出一個對話框，你可以在這裡把它Mount到一個目錄里。

譯者語：看完使用過程，感覺和「Mandrake控制中心」提供的功能一樣，只不過一個是軟體，而一個是配製。怪不得沒有集成到Mandrake９發布，但是對於從MS Windows轉移過來的用戶應該很有幫助吧。（這是我第一次發布，如有不完善請海涵，並多提意見）
