Default vista network browsing

It appears that on several Vista machines it takes an unusually long time to
enumerate the computer on the network and domain. I read that Link Layer
Topology Discovery can be applied to XP boxes, but I think that only applies
to the graphical mapper. I'm only trying to view a list of computers in the
network folder in the control panel. Has anyone experienced a similar issue
and found a fix? Turned the firewall off.

thanks,

Bill

If run net view command, do you see any list? Or any errors?

the net view command enumerates the hosts very quickly. after running that
command, I went to the gui to enumerate the network, and it's the familiar
slow population of hosts on the network.
