Like I said: The system was slow, Then I set up the disk checking for the next boot, rebooted the system, and the system got a lot faster. Previous reboots didn't help, so it looks like the disk check was the key. That is: No maintenance actions, SW (de/)installations or anything was done...

Do you have the same problem as me: the sharing works after boot, but other machines disappear after (seemingly) random time? Applies only to the Windows 7 machine, not Vista or XP. Even if you have a shared directory open in the "file damager". Refreshing suddenly brings the "windows cannot...
