Hi Winston
Yes partially, my vista computer now(after six identical attempts has added
itself to the "MSHOME" workgroup default used in xp.

However, it still is failing to change the network type to home computer,
and still will not show the wired xp desktop computer already in the
network.(It does show the xp computer if you click the "View full map" link
in the "Network and Sharing Center"

I believe that this change ( if I could make it ) would fix the problem and
want to see if anyone else can change these two settings on their vista
machines.

Two foot notes:
My "Network" widow is intermitantly displaying my computer twice, as
WORKGROUP and MSHOME.

I am using a "Ultimate Pre-release version given to me by Microsoft at the
Vista and Office 2007 Launch in Seattle.
