Hi Jim This is standard behaviour of a Windows Network (peer-to-peer). /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 07/07 9:58 pm >>> Thanks for that Jim. That was the item that I could just not remember. The site starting working after it sat on over-night so the system must refresh it's after a certain amount of time passes. The nbstat -R command would do the same instantly. I will not forget it for another few years.

NBTSTAT lets you look at each machines name cache table.

I think its because of the way w98 announces and caches P2P computers and shares. If you remove the share from the troublesome PCs and then add a new share it will probably show up. You can sometimes force it to refresh better if you go through the Netwrok places | Entire Network | Workgroup avenue with explorer.

Have you tried going to the renamed machine and re-sharing a folder? Does it then show up on other computers on this (peer-to-peer?) network?

The workgroup did not change but the renamed members do not show up any more in the network list. (This was a Windows 98 network.) That is why it seems unusual.

If the computer is no longer there, shares are gone to.... Network environment does not show up computers is probably due to you also changed the workgroup name. Windows will only show up computers from the same workgroup in a P2P network.

Hi All: Does anyone know why all the shares are lost from a station when the computer name is changed? Reconnecting the local shares has to be done by entering the UNC for each computer and printer and the local network no longer shows up in the file explorer display. (The network being worked on is an old Win98 one.) Any help in this area would be much appreciated.
