iSeries™ NetServer™ might not appear in Windows® My Network Places for a variety of reasons.
iSeries NetServer takes advantage of the Microsoft® proprietary browsing protocol, which allows iSeries NetServer to appear in Windows My Network Places. The browsing protocol results in a separate list of computers for each protocol on each adapter. As a result, because iSeries NetServer does not support NetBIOS, when you transfer these lists, you might lose those non-NetBIOS supporting computers from the list.
It is a good idea to make all the computers in the same subnet members of the same domain (workgroup). This ensures that the browse announcements from iSeries NetServer are received by a computer capable of gathering information for the Windows Network Neighborhood.
If iSeries NetServer is a logon server, then it will be the master browser for the domain and maintain the list of computers. Again, the browse list might not be complete if some servers are in a different subnet and that subnet does not have its own master browser that knows to contact the domain master browser with its list.
iSeries NetServer might also be hidden from the network because of the interval setting for browse announcement.
