----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have set up two printers on two Win95 machines to be shared by the other
Win95 and a couple Win3 for Workgroups machines.  It is not working that
great--it works just fine for a while, then the "client" machines are
unable to find the machines sharing printers.  If I go to the DOS prompt
and type "NET VIEW", it shows the computers with the printer attached, but
if I try to see the resources being shared by a specific computer on that
list with "NET VIEW \\name" it says it can't find that computer on the
network.

I am using Client for Microsoft Networks and Microsoft TCP/IP as included
with Windows.  All computers in question are on the same subnet.

Is this a common problem?  Is there an easy fix?
