When you select the private location type, you can see other computers and devices on the network: a feature known as network discovery. For example, you can see other Windows Vista computers, even if they are part of a different workgroup than yours. Also, the Windows Firewall is turned on, and file, media, and printer sharing are disabled.
The public location setting also enables Windows Firewall and disables file, printer, and media sharing. However, it also disables network discovery. If you move from one wireless network to another for example, from home to office, or from office to a hotel , you will be prompted to select the network location for each new wireless network.
You can change the location type and the default settings for public and private locations through the Network and Sharing Center. I would like to receive exclusive offers and hear about products from InformIT and its family of brands. I can unsubscribe at any time.

I am not only excited about my financial future, but what Vista is going to do for the world. If we have a big dream, we have to have God as our partner, then we will get extra powerful help. I appreciate Vista very much inspite their busy schedules, they are always so nice and helpful.
I pray that God will bless Vista. Success is not the result of chance or of destiny; it is the outworking of God's own providence, the reward of faith and discretion, of virtue and persevering effort. Contact vista. VISTA 5. In this upgrade to V5.

I can connect thru my router to the internet without any problems, and I can also print to either of the 2 network printers on my home network.
But I cannot connect to the workgroup and cannot do backups to my NAS, or transfer files or even "see" my laptop on the same workgroup. The network taskbar icon sez "Not Connected" and when I run the "Diagonose why windows can't find any networks" the response comes back as "This computer does not have a wireless adapter installed and configured" It's true, I don't have a wireless adapter, but connect via a wired connection. I'm running a Linksys WRTn router.
I've tried removing the router and running only on my Linksys switch - no change. I have installed a Linksys network card and disabled the motherboard adapters, no change. I'm at a loss - can anyone help? Do you need more info? Do I need to fuss with netsh? Thanks in advance!! Saturday, August 30, PM. Friday, September 5, AM. Hi, I suggest that you boot in Safe Mode with Networking first. Wednesday, September 3, AM. I rebooted into safe mode and still could not connect to a network.
I can't connect to a network, so I cannot try to connect to a workgroup. Also, when I try to diagnose why Windows cannot find any networks, I get this: "This computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured" I do not have a wireless network adapter in this desktop computer Thanks for your help! Thursday, September 4, AM.
