Hi



In Vista you'll find a setting called Network Discovery. This setting changes based on whether computers and devices as well as shared files and folders on the network are visible from your computer system. There are two Network Discovery settings: on and off. Here is how you turn on Network Discovery:



1. From the Vista Start Orb select Control Panel

2. From the Control Panel left-click Network and Sharing Center



Quicker Network %26amp; Sharing Access:

Locate the Network Status icon in the system tray.

Left click the icon and select Network and Sharing Center.



3. Select View network status and tasks

4. Under Sharing and Discovery click the drop down arrow. Here you will see the following options:



- Turn on network discovery

- Turn off network discovery



5. Click the radio button beside Turn on network discovery

6. This will prompt the User Account Control (UAC) to bring the ';Windows needs your permission to continue...'; window to come up. Click Continue.

7. Wait a moment for Vista to make the changes, and you should then be able to see other computers, devices, shared files and folders on your network.

Befire doing this , note that network discovery makes your computer more vulnarable to threat. It is advisable to enable this only in a trusted lan.



CHOOSE customized from NETWORK %26amp; sharing centre that appears next to the netqwork name. Then choose PRIVATE NETWORK type for the network. ( choose yes on UAC prompt) .



Your system is now discoverable on the network.
