Let me rephrase that. Vista and 7 make it easier to fudge your way by with no networking knowledge whatsoever.

I just want to be able to get them to talk to each other. My work laptop can't see shit, and I don't think the Win7 computers can see it either.

Couple of clicks in Win7 and it found my network, setup a share and was flawless. One thing i don't like that it has on by default is password protected share drive access.

Out of curiosity, how do I turn this off?

Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced sharing settings, Turn off password protected sharing. Can be set up differently for networks identified as Home/Work and Public, same as all the other options in there.

Fix'd.

I didn't have to do a single thing to setup my network on a fresh Win7 install. It auto-detected every thing.

You have to install something on XP to get Vista and 7 to see it. This page explains how to fix this, with a hotfix for the XP comp.

I hear this is an option in the latest Ubuntu release.

Win7 has a very complex tree structure for finding simple on/off options...this is something XP did really well images/smilies/sad.gif

Picked this up yesterday in preparation for my new graphics card:

Getting it locally was actually cheaper than buying it from Newegg and having my mom bring it back with her! images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Well toys are five minutes of fun were as a computer is much more be it emails or course work.
so a computer is much more than a toy, it keeps suprising you with different things like internet.

smib · November 7th, 2009, 1:23 AM

I'm not sure, but I think I should report that post.

thevictor390 · November 7th, 2009, 1:24 AM

I think he just misunderstood the use of the word "toy" in the title. Also what a very odd first post.

PacketCollision · November 7th, 2009, 6:44 AM

I can't tell if that's a spambot or just a really unintelligible user.

thevictor390 · November 7th, 2009, 6:50 AM

Who says it can't be both.

I like how the Internet "surprised" him. Like he was just using his computer one day, working on spreadsheets and checking his non-Internet emails, his mind awash with a feeling of ennui so powerful that it began to wrench his very sanity away from himself. Then, in a fit of desperation, he minimized all 63 of his empty Excel windows (for he had a habit of clicking the lower 'x' when he was done with a file, and starting a new instance of the program when he wanted to open another) one by one, until he was finally at his desktop once more. Poring over the icons, he came across a curiously round blue fellow he had not noticed before. He decided to live dangerously and double-clicked it with reckless abandon, bringing forth onto his screen something that was altogether new to his computing experience:

The Internet™

Being an entirely new experience for him, he found it truly captivating and perused it for hours, not knowing when to stop! Eventually, however, as the sunlight faded and his eyes grew weary, he had to accept the fact that, alas, all good things must come to an end. Thus, he reluctantly closed the window (after maximizing, un-maximizing, maximizing and un-maximizing it a few times, the close button being that saucily-small button she was), slapped his knee, let out a hearty "who'da thunk it?" and sat back in his chair, reflecting on the amazing new direction his life was about to take...
