i have an imac running mac os x 10.6.3
all pc's see the mac and each other but when i go into finder the pc's are not showing consistently. sometimes i go into finder and all the pc's are showing but after restart none are showing and fail to do so despite restarting several time.
i've done a lot of research and carried the procedures for joining the network, disabled all firewalls and av on pc's, all machines belong to the same workgroup.
i can connect to machines from imac by using the connect to server tool (even though even though none are servers), but they hardly ever show up automatically.
there's another thread on here with same problem but no resolution.
thanks in advance.
