Browsing Overview

Browsing in Windows 95 is the same for all network providers, whether the network is based on Windows NT Server, Novell NetWare, another network, or Windows 95 itself.

Users can browse network resources to connect to them. For example, users on NetWare networks can see NetWare servers and printers, plus computers running File and Printer Sharing for NetWare Networks. Users on Microsoft networks can find network resources by scrolling through a list of available workgroups, a list of available computers in a given workgroup, and a list of available resources on a given computer.

For technical details about network computing with Windows 95 on Microsoft and NetWare networks, see "Browsing on Microsoft Networks" and "Browsing on NetWare Networks" later in this chapter.
