Chuck, I set up the Registry as you indicate in your article with the
DCHpBroadcast flag set to 0 in the Vista computer (since the XP does not have
it). I check all my settings in both computers and they look fine. However,
something is still not working. Running 'ipconfig /all' told me I have a
'Hybrid' node type. Could that be the problem? How do I change it to
'Broadcast'?
Also, in the XP computer I changed the workgroup to 'WORKGROUP' to match the
Vista computer but I noticed somehow it reverses to 'MSHOME' afterwards.
Could that be the reason.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
