| | Can't turn on Network Discovery Hello, I installed Vista Ultimate on a machine that came with Home Edition Premium. I thought that the system would automatically join the network domain, but nothing happened. I found an option called Network Discovery, click the On option and the Apply button, but it change didn't take affect. Can anyone help me get connected to the network? Thank you and God Bless, Mark A. Sam |
