Here are a couple of links that should solve your problem. Run kb922120 on
the XP machines and change your Vista machine's workgroup to match the XP's. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=922120 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net...ta_fp.mspx#ELC Woody "J.J.

Hello Eric,
About half way down on the article you suggest is instructions about how to set a public network to private. I have followed those instructions carefully a few times. It works. However, when I restart my computer the network has switched back to public. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Joe "Eric Cross [MVP]" wrote: Hello J.J Barroso, If you haven't already, I suggest that you go throught the steps indicated in this article. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx -- Eric Cross Microsoft MVP (Windows Networking) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "J.J.
