Hello all,
I have a small business network with a NT4 server with WINS, 4 XP Pro Workstations, 3 NT workstations, 1 Win 2K Workstation. On several occasions all XP users have reported that when using Windows Explorer in XP that under "My Network Places" the "Entire Network" is missing. They are able to connect to other computers through mapped drives or \\computername. Eventually the "Entire Network" comes back but I would like to find the cause of this issue. Has anyone else seen this happen? or similar?

When I open Windows Explorer it is missing as well, but if I hit F5 it appears.
