Network Discovery issue
setting up a newly wiped dell inspiron...vista ultimate is installed...when
trying to enable network discovery, the oddest thing happens - i choose "on", then hit "apply" at which point i'm prompted for permission - click "continue" and after a second i'm returned back to the Network and Sharing center with Network Discovery back to "off"...tried this about a dozen times, and yes, i'm logged in as the admin for this machine... funny part is that for all the options under "sharing and discovery" i can only change the "password protected sharing" back and forth from "off" to "on" and vice versa... this is starting to drive me crazy as i can't see any networks nor enable my lan port without finding a way to turn on network discovery... help please

Right underneath the basic network mapping. there will be the option to customize. Ensure that you're setup as a private network and not public. ------------ Trevor Porubanec Windows Vista Support

Network Discovery issue
Are you using any firewall software other than the one included with Vista?
