Assuming you're using VisionFS:

By default VisionFS will appear in domain/workgroup browselists if that
domain has a member master browser on the same subnet as VisionFS. 

It is possible to force VisionFS to appear in specific domains and
workgroups by taking the following steps:

1. Run the Profile Editor. In the Identification Tab select any entries
with a corresponding workgroup entry of (all) and Remove them.

2. Click New... Select an appropriate Server Name (default should
suffice). In the workgroup  box type the name of the domain/workgroup
you wish VisionFS to appear in. Leave the CIFS entry blank.

3. Repeat 2. for all domains/workgroups you wish VisionFS to be
browsable in.

4. In the Advanced tab ensure that the 'Participate in master browser
elections' box is enabled.

5. From the Profile Editor menu bar select Profile -> Restart Server.

The VisionFS server will now appear in the specified Domain Browselists
though due to the nature of browsing it may take up to approx. 1 hour
for the browse lists to be propogated around the network.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
