"Shared" section in Finder

[Luke284]

Hi, I'm new to macs, but i think I'm already converted. I do however, have a question.

My home network is mainly made up of Vista machines all shared under one workgroup called "Workgroup". I have set my MBP to be on that workgroup too.

Are all the PCs meant to show automatically under the shared section? as nothing is there unless i manually connect to a network share using apple-K.

If they are meant to show up, how can I make them do so?

thanks

well, this afternoon it is showing up. Very strange. I'm sure I haven't changed anything.

yeah, i have noticed that too. Not a huge problem as i can still manually connect. just a problem if i wanted to add a printer. so i guess its a case of add the printer the first time you see it.

edit: you got a link for that? might have a look.
