Re: Timeout ?

I found the likes of the following registry settings

but they dont seem to be right

NetPrinterDecayPeriod REG_DWORD
Range: Milliseconds
Default: 3,600,000 (1 hour)
Specifies how long to cache a network printer. The cache is used to present
the list of printers when the browse list is used.

RefreshTimesPerDecayPeriod REG_DWORD
Range: 1 - 5
Default: 2
Specifies how many times to inform the browse masters and backup servers per
decay period. The default value is two times per hour. Do not set a zero
value if you specify both RefreshTimesPerDecayPeriod and
ServerThreadTimeout; the system will wait for the maximum of either the
ServerThreadTimeout or the RefreshTimesPerDecayPeriod.
