Can't see computers in Network Neighborhood

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.setup (More info?)

Hello,

I have a WinNT4.0 Server SP6. I have all flavors of workstations on the
network (Win95, 98SE, 2K, and XP). I cannot reliabley see all of the
workstations in the Network Neighborhood window. Why? Is there a way to
get all of the workstations seen?

Thanks.

Mike

Turn on the WINS services on your NT Server.
Then put in the address of the WINS server in all your client's TCP/IP
configuration.
WINS eliminate the delay nomally seen in a peer-to-peer setup when the
network is trying to assert the names of the clients on the network. WINS
caches and provides network names to clients (as well as registering the
names) so no 'seraching' or fights over who will be the master browser happen.
