Browsing network for SQL instances

$

This isn't really causing me a problem, but I am a bit intrigued ....In SSMS, when connecting to a database instance, you can scroll the bottom of the list of Server Names (which is a list populated by servers you've already visited) and there's a <...browse for more...> option. If you select that and then click on the Network Servers tab, you'll get a list of available SQL Server instances. This list is far shorter than the list of instances I know I can log into.A developer just demonstrated that he gets the same list via the ODBC setup in Crystal as he gets in SSMS, so there's some commonality behind this list's source. Anyone know where this list comes from?Thanks,--=Chuck
