I have a funny situation where Windows XP (Home) computers appear briefly under Network Neighbourhood (View All Computers in Workgroup under XP) and disappear throughout the day. Win95/Win98 and Samba boxes are always available, only Windows XP Home disappear. The boxes are still online, and I can still access them using the \\name\share notation (UNC). I have a feeling they are not announcing themselves on the network as they are supposed to. How do I get them to announce themselves. I tried making the samba server the prefered and local master (and WINS server - dished out by DHCP) but that didn't help. I can't figure this one out. Is there some packet I can craft and throw on the wire to force all these computers to announce themselves? -OR- can I modify/add a windows services on the XP boxes -OR- add a registry key.
