Interesting...  We don't have any 95 systems anywhere.  This just seems
weird to me still.  If we had NT servers in our remote locations instead of
those idiotic nOvell ones, I'd say, "let's enable the service on all the
servers" and just leave it at that.  But, I mean, what happens if we have a
workstation or two with the browser service running, but the people who use
those computers are off for a week?  Do we then wind up not seeing those
computers at that location for a week?  Or is the browser list cached
somewhere or something?  I hate networks.  I need to get back to
programming.  <g>
