Turning file servers off is commonly recognised as a bad idea.
In a domain, the domain controller acts as browse master. In the absence
of a domain controller, a random other host may or may not be elected
browse master. If not, you're stuck to resolution by broadcast, and to
conclude that a given host is _not_ responding you will necessarily have
to wait the full timeout interval.
