How to one-time-update the "Network" branch with newest connected computers?

Post by pstein »

In the "Network" tree branch a couple of network computers are listed.

The list is currently not automatically updated (at startup).

However I want to update it now (read: Not connected computers should be removed, newly found computers added (including their current computer name (=not only IP)).

How can I achieve this?

Select it in the Tree and press F4.

Ok, thank you.
But that is not working.
No other computer from my (small) network is listed.

Even not the local computer (on which XYPlorer is installed) is shown

Whats wrong?

Right-click that node and select "Browse for Network Server..." This should show you what Windows sees.
