On my Vista machine network discovery is set to custom.
I check Turn On network discovery and am prompted to allow User Account Control and click ok.
HOWEVER after clicking OK, nothing changes.
Bottom line is that Network discovery remains in the custom mode with BOTH options (turn on or turn off) unchecked.
This results in my NOT being able to see my vista machine from my XP or Windows 7 machines.

Of course my Vista machine see the XP and W7 resources.....
HELP!
(would love to upgrade my Vista machine to W7 but not in the cards)
