My residential network is make of 300 vlans (one per room). To browse them we are using a wins server.

My problem is that when I try to browse the network, windows first tries to find the neighborhood using some broadcast, and only then does it query the wins server. This "broadcast period" lasts exactly 30 seconds and is very annoying. Can I reduce it, or can I completely disable this broadcast network discovery feature from my system?

Thank you for your answers.

Probably the only place you could change this setting could be in registry but you have to google to find out the right key – SoftwareGeek Feb 23 '10 at 15:29
