Changes made to Windows File Sharing can take up to 3 minutes to affect Windows clients, and up to 15 minutes to affect Windows Network Neighborhood.

This problem is inherent in all Windows networking. Windows servers take time to refresh, and making certain changes won't propagate to the clients immediately.

The amount of time it takes also depends on the version of Windows you are running. Some Windows versions will refresh quicker than others.
