I'd like to be able to check which workgroups are up and  running 
from a peer each morning. Just using Network Neighbourhood  isn't 
relaible enough as it doesn't refresh reliably. Is there any good 
public domain software or anything from MS to patch OSR2 95?  I'd 
be  happy with just machine names and descriptions - but  as  one 
long list.

Have you tried "C:\net view"? It works fine on my one-workgroup networks.
Perhaps it will also show other workgroups or there are command line
switches to do that. Start there, before searching out 3rd party stuff.

Hi David,

I'm by no means any sort of a networking expert, but I can suggest 1 thing that
you may or may not be aware of, and may or may not work!

With Win 9x pressing the F5 key works to refresh.  I know this works with NN but I
can't say with how well it works!
