KDE control panel has (on Mandrake) 2 configuration things for this,
Under Configuration,KDE,network, there is Windows Shares and Lan Browsing
These update files
/$HOME/.kde/share/config/kio_lanrc
/$HOME/.kde/share/config/lisarc
/$HOME/.kde/share/config/rlisarc
While looking for these lisarc and rlisarc files, I came across -
/$HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/lan.desktop
it has a line which says URL=lan:/
which is the problem I changed that to URL=lan://localhost/localhost and it works by displaying the active network shares for my computer as defined in the KDE control center
I then changed it to read rlan:/
This then should display the machines on the network
