A little off topic - Microsoft Networking Problem

["Ian Perry" <iperry@inertia.com.au>]

I know this is a little off topic but...

I have a network of 100+ operating Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, Netware Server,
Linux (here I have to add that the machines running linux and netware have
been up continuously for over 11 months and never missed a beat unlike the
others mentioned)

On the windows machines, they are taking forever to pull up Network
Neighbourhood.  It began happenning a few months back without explanation
and has been happenning randomly ever since (we had not changed the network,
nor brought any new machines online).  We have no problems with IPX, or
TCP/IP on any of the machines.

I was just wonderring if anyone has had a problem similar and was there a
quick solution to finding the problem rather than taking the 100+ network
down and thoroughly testing it.

Thanks

Ian
