Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I have Windows XP Pro on my
system and I am connected to a network running windows
small business server. When I go into Microsoft windows
network, I see the current workgroup but when I go into
the workgroup there are no other computers connected.
However, after a while (1 or 2 hours) it populates the
workgroup with the other computers connected.

How can I get it to see immediately the other computers
on the network?

To access another computer immediately, type its name in the Start |
Run box, preceded by two backslashes:
