[LUG] Nautilus' network browser

 

Hi all,

As I understand it, Nautilus uses gnome-vfs2 to connect to all sorts
of data sources, including network 'shares'.  My question is how does
gnome-vfs2 (or Nautilus) establish the name of the machines?  For
example, I've just fired up Nautilus and pointed it at network:/// and
it's showing me a whole bunch of machines that are sharing their
resources through one method or another.  How does Nautilus establish
the names of the hosts?

Grant.
