Reply:In the Network and Sharing Center of Vista, you need to set the network type as "Home" or "Work" by clicking the "Customize" link located to the right of your network. These are considered private and will enable network discovery, file and print sharing, and will still keep the firewall on. (assuming you turn it back on).
