| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: Hide Network Status I nominate this for, "Bestest thread EVAR!!!!!" Own what you do. If you get your ass whopped, don't come crying to me alright? Is Moms using Vista too? If she is, you're good to go. Click Start/Network/Network and Sharing Center. In the left pane select "manage network connections". Right click on your LAN, select properties. Elevate privileges. Uncheck Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder. Hit ok to save your changes. Disabling the responder tells your Vista to ignore the requests from the other Vista machines on the network to say, "hey, I'm here". |

| Windows Vista™ Home Premium | Re: Hide Network Status Hey Fumz, She has network magic though. Will this also block that program from informing her that i was online? or am online? and she would never hit me hahaha.
