The "network neighborhood" functionality in Windows can lag behind for up to 15 minutes. Its becuase of the way "browsing" is handled in Windows... So, it is normal for a machine to not show up immediately.
There are more technical explinations for this (refering to master browsers and such windows fun) but I wont go there. =) Let me know if you wanted more information. will ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Frame <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 1999 11:25 AM Subject: samba/network neighborhood question > I just got Samba installed and it seems to be working fine.
