Re: samba/network neighborhood question
The "network neighborhood" functionality in Windows can lag behind for up to
15 minutes. Its becuase of the way "browsing" is handled in Windows... So,
it is normal for a machine to not show up immediately.
There are more technical explinations for this (refering to master browsers
and such windows fun) but I wont go there. =)
Let me know if you wanted more information.
