If I browse out on certain machines from My Network
Places it takes forever to show the domains list. I know
there is a registry fix for this but now I can't find
it. Does anyone know???

Thanks,
Scott
 
Do you have a domain controller?
Or is it just a small p2p network.

The issue is most likely the Computer Browser Service

If there is no set domain controller all the machines fight over who's
incharge.
Normally, the most up to date OS takes control, but it will take a while to
decide.
All mahcines should have CBS disabled if you have a server (apart from the
server obviously). And if you dont have a server, disable it on all but the
best one.

Under older versions of windows (<2k) its not a service, but an option one
of the the propery pages in network properties. probably of your tcpip
protocol, cant remember exactly.
