Browsing a network

I work in the IT Department of a University and we are testing Vista. One
problem that I am having is that when I try to browse our network I get a
bunch of stuff that I don't need but not what I do need. In Windows XP I
browse Microsoft Windows Network and I find all of the Domains on campus. I
find mine and then i can browse all system with in that group. With vista I
click on network and it browses the intire campus. How do I Isolate it to
just mine.

Re: Browsing a network

When you open Start - Network, you can left-click on the Name heading on
the right panel, and turn on other headings to view...

Network Location

I'm not in a domain, but I'll bet it's there for you.
