Why do computers disappear from “new view” on Windows?

I'm configuring a Linux system using Samba to appear on a Windows network with a NetBIOS name. I noticed that sometimes the computer will disappear from the net view results on the Windows machine despite still being able to ping that computer by its name, connect to it by its name in Explorer, and show as a result of nbtstat -r.



Note that I am trying to find "ABC123".



> nbtstat -r

Pinging abc123 [10.0.1.138] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.1.138: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.1.138: bytes=32 time=7ms TTL=64


But cannot be seen with net view:

\OTHER Samba server (4.8.3) on archive
\THISCOMPUTER
The command completed successfully.


After a while I'll check net view again and ABC123 will be visible on the list with no intervention.



Why is this?
