A problem with the access to local network
I've got LAN and I want to connect to another computer to its shared files. How could I do this?
When I try this:
public class LanListener {
URL url;
/** Creates a new instance of LanListener */
public LanListener() {
try {
url = new URL("file://192.168.1.2");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
url.openStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();
}
catch( IOException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new LanListener();
}
}
It gives me - java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
.......
Please HELP ME =)

The file:// transfer type means to look on the local disk, not over the network. You're making it look for a file named "192.168.1.2".
What's on that host? Does that host have a web server? Does it have an ftp server or an ssh server? Does it provide a networked filesystem or something like Samba?
Well, I've got LAN and I want to browse shared folders in other machines. I can do it by : Start -> Run -> \\192.168.1.3 -> and I'll see shared folders, printers. I want to make this in Java. So, how to view shared folders in other LAN machines?

That's an entirely different thing from a "file:" URL. The \\ tells Windows to mount a networked host as a shared drive, via SMB, I think. I try to avoid Windows networking so I'm not sure of the details.
Anyway, this is a Windows-specific way to network a drive. Maybe Windows has defined a URL transfer type specifier to name that sort of thing. You might want to try the Microsoft web site.

Well, suppose you were going to access those files via your web browser. What URL would you type in?
