Can anyone explain to me what I have to do to get my SCO Unix 7.1 box to
appear in my network neihborhood. I currently have NT Clients with NT Server
authenticating and can only see my SCO box when I click on entire network
and then I get my workgroup and the SCO Box. I would like to see it when I
open network neihborhood along with everything else on the network.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

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.
