It takes so long to get to Computers Near Me what was that
I remember a reg hack that was around here a few years ago. It made your Workgroup open up faster on the network. Anyone remember that ? Thanks, Sparkhard.

Nemesis, Negative...that is not what he's looking for....sorry.
Sparkhead, Do you have a server running on your network ?? If so, you could setup a WINS server on it....which would speed up your network neighborhood to almost being instantaneous. Not to mention, setting up a WINS server is extremely easy.
Clutch helped me setup my WINS server a couple months back...Now all of those problems that you are describing are now gone.
Good luck...

Here is the reg hack that I think you are looking for (just performed a search on this board for "reg network browse" and worked my way to it):

As for setting up a WINS box, it's pretty much automatic. You just install the service on the server, and have all the clients point to it in their TCP/IP properties. They can then get all the NetBIOS linked info from the WINS box rather than querying the system directly, which can cause the delay you are seeing. However, here is a link that can explain it further from Technet:

Deleting that reg entry worked great for me. Thanks for the info.
