Can we get info on the type of network? (ie DC, AD, etc)?

All win 7 machines or mixed?

Why not? What's the difference if the computers are visible?

I want to make it impossible to share files.
So not why, but how

Just go into the Advanced Sharing settings and turn off Network discovery and File and Printer sharing and also turn off Public folder sharing, you will want to do this in both the Work-Home and Public Advanced Sharing windows.

Sorry, but it's not working, the computers are still visible.. it's true i have to give in a password, but they are still visible..
Someone told me i have to change something in the Firewall, but don't know where..

Thx for the tip, but also not working..
