Is there some way to clear or force a Win 7 or Vista network to consistently see what share are available from other machines, some XP, some XP 64, some Vista?
It's like the network shows whatever it wants whenever it feels like it. There was a trick in XP that involved deleting shares, and clearing out LanManServer that always worked. My LAN is not exposed to the internet, and I am the only one who accesses it for my work, so I don't need security protocols enabled, nor do I want them. I just want my fileserver shares to consistently appear at my workstations.
The XP machines (usually the origins of the shares) have little, if any problems seeing the Vista or Win 7 machines.
It's the Win 7 and Vista 32-bits that have the most problems, though they will map network shares as drives without issue, but that's not really what I want.
Thanks for any help.
