WINDOWS Explorer and viewing Network

Hi,

Desktop using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit (but also used to occur on my
32-bit laptop before I installed Windows 7 RC - very good by the way!)

If I open Windows Explorer and select 'Network' in the left-hand pane
Explorer often finds nothing and just endlessly searches. The network is
working correctly and I can view the mapped network drives on my NAS and see
my desktop from my laptop an vice versa.

Any suggestions?

Regards

AC

Networking may not be set up properly on the computer unable to see itself
or others on the network.
On the other hand, peer to peer network protocols are so poor in Windows
that this not infrequently occurs when everything is working properly and
set up properly and worked yesterday although nothing has changed.
