    It doesn't matter if you are part of a home/workgroup, the computer is still visible in the network list.

    Thx for the tip, but also not working..
    Wow! I wonder what is turned on that is making your machines so visible. Most of the time we are trying to solve machines NOT seeing each other.

    To hide your computer from being browsed in Network Neighborhood, open a command prompt by clicking on Start \ Run… and typing the following:

    net config server /HIDDEN:YES
