Vista to XP issues
In the help and support for finding computers on the network, it says that it
can take up to 15 minutes to find older computers on the network. I have found this to be true, but I am wondering why this is and if there is anything that I can do to make it faster ( or instant)?

To access another computer instantly, type the other computer's name in the Start Run or Start Search box in this format: \\computer You can also create a desktop shortcut to another computer, specifying the target of the shortcut as "\\computer". -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
