::Hi to all, ::
::I have a situation with Network, which I do not know is normal or not
in Windows Vista. When I clicked Network from Start button, and looked
what computers are listed, I see other computers but my own is it not
listed. Is this situation normal? I have done other clean install in
which showed my computer. I saw in the Network tutorial similar what I
have now, my last clean install. If this is not normal, how can I have
my computer listed again? Your response will be greatly appreciated. ::

::Thank you, Doc ::

I think this is normal if you haven't enabled file sharing.

These are the normal settings

1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.

In Vista Network and Sharing:

Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)

Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)

File Sharing: ON

Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)

Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords (passwords can be different) on ALL computers in your Network) If
you have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to
access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista computer.
