After booting my wired-LAN-connected notebook it lasts (sometimes) a rather long time (up to 15 minutes) until
my notebook gets visible in the LAN network resp. the exiting other computers are visible in the notebooks network
neighborhood.

Is there way to speed up the browser contacting ?

I assume that there must be a way to force the notebook immediately after network changes to investigate
other computers.

Is there a parameter / Registry tweak for this ?

First, install this optional update (select the appropriate language
resource) and configure according to KB917730 (see below):

If WinXP Pro installed, perform the following step in addition.
