hi,

appending lekss, server display list can vary depending on factors such timeouts , network traffic. can cause list different on 2 consecutive calls. servers on same network listed. broadcast packets typically won't traverse routers, why may not see server listed, stable across calls.

additionally, when cannot browse sql server instances, can test network connection using ping grogram:
1. on client, type cmd in run dialog box, , click ok.
2. at command prompt, run following command:
ping <server name>
if fails, think issue caused network problem , not sql server problem. suggest contact network administrator resolve problem.

reference:

if there more questions, please let me know.
thanks.
