Is it possible have a server that has shares available from remote computers but not browsable or viewable from Network Neighborhood? Is it a matter of turning of a certain service?

The "net config server /hidden:yes" can hide the server service from Net Neighborhood, but still allow the server service to run (which is the service that does the sharing).
Also a server in another network segment, might not show up in the browselist, unless the master browsers are config-ed right.

Thanks, this did exactly what I needed and I will just have to remember to turn it off if I am making changes to the servers config.
