Once you've used net config server /hidden:yes to hide an XP Pro Workstation,
what all is involved in "unhiding" it? Simply rerunning that with /hidden:no
doesn't seem to do the trick and Microsoft says that the command is
permanent? Hmmm...

Is there a registry key I need to delete or change?

Thanks!

Mark,

Try stopping and restarting the following services:

- Computer Browser
- Server service

The computer name should now appear in the browser list.
