Net. Neighborhood vs. ‘Find | Computers’

by d'anno . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

There are networked PC’s on our LAN that display on various other LAN PC’s, but not on others in Network Neighborhood. All clients have same workgroup name, TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols bound. My PC, for example, never displays a shared box named ‘BIOV1′ in Net. N’hood while most others’ PC’s DO display it. However, I have successfully mapped drive H:\ to ‘BIOV1’ and can find ‘BIOV1’ and shared resources on it using ‘Start | Find | Computers’. I’m pretty sure the box has a DHCP assigned IP,so probably can’t modify the HOSTS file(??). How can I ensure that my PC (and others) will display these shared PC’s in Network Neighborhood??
