I've seen this bug just setting up systems on the LAN, and I have found
two fixes.. rather, work arounds, not fixes.
1. Sometimes you have to do a (Shutdown) and log on as a different user
and create a totally new username (ie when you first boot win95 and it
asks for a username/password) that you have never used before. Sometimes
this prevents you from seeing anything in network neighborhood, dont ask
me why.
2. Sometimes you cant SEE a system, even though it's there. If you right
click on my computer, and hit explore. The windows explorer will come up
instead of the standard navigator. Go to tools, find computer, and type in
the computer name and see if THAT Locates it.
