Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / March 2007Remove computers from MSHOME network
How do I remove old, non-existent computers from MSHOME network? There is no option to delete and shutting down and restarting makes no difference (so please don't just say "right click and delete"!). Is it something to do with my Belkin router? There is no option to delete computers but the old computers still show under DHCP Client List. rt click / delete? > How do I remove old, non-existent computers from MSHOME network?

I tend to avoid workgroup setups so it's been a while since I had this - but I THINK if you shut down ALL your computers (anything that CAN share files on a Windows network), then the browse list SHOULD be reset. Otherwise, be patient and they should just disappear on their own. > How do I remove old, non-existent computers from MSHOME network?

Have you tried restarting the server machine from a cold boot? Cold boot means powered off, power cord disconnected, not just the computer switch turned off, for at least 30 seconds, a minute or longer is better. Power ALL computers OFF, remove power (pull the plug if you have to; don't depend on the power switch; that's not always really "off"). Wait 30 seconds or more. Power on the Server machine. Let it fully boot. Then: Do a Restart of the server machine you just started. It's just insurance, sort of a fail-safe action. Now power on the other machines; the list should rebuild itself properly. IME at least. If it's GROUPS you have problems with, I believe those can be deleted. Or renamed, whatever is needed. Remember, every machine needs a group, and the same group, to be included IN a group. HTH Pop` That list should be getting rebuilt each time the computer starts, so if there's nothing there to identify the missing machines, they shouldn't be showing up. Think I finally figured it out. The info is stored in the router, so it's necessary to reload factory settings. > > How do I remove old, non-existent computers from MSHOME network?
