Fixing Smb4k Network Neighborhood Scanning

If Smb4k complains about not being able to sign in to local host when you select Scan Network then you are missing a configuration setting.



In the configuration settings under 'Network' there is a field that allows you to specify the broadcast scan areas. For my network I filled the field in with: 192.168.1.0,192.168.1.254
This tells Smb4k to scan from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254.



This setting appears to be extremely important for Smb4k and makes a big difference to some of the interface features.
