Network Discovery Keeps Turning Off

I'm having this exact same problem too, with a brand new Dell Vostro 200 running Vista Business 32bit.

Fresh load of the OEM Vista software, from "Fdisk" on up, so it's not due to a lot of Dell pre-loaded crapware.

I have a 4-year-old Dell Dimension with a retail version of Vista Business on it that hasn't missed a beat, with no hint of the problem.

They're both connected to the same Linksys router, so that's not it, either.

Is there a registry hack to keep Network Discovery turned on at all times, plus permanently set to "Home" and "Private" network?

At this point I have no need of anything but those settings, so why bother with the "detection" part of it each time I reboot?

Awaiting some good MVP out there to drop the answer on us...

Thanks
