Specify the Server Announcement Frequency (Windows NT/2000/XP)
Category: Home > Network > Servers
Specifies how often a non-hidden server announces itself to the network. More frequent announcements keep client server tables more up to date, but may increase network overhead and processing on client computers, because the clients must process every announcement.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'Announce' using the settings below.
