QuoteXP Computers in the Windows 7 Network Map
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 and Vista have the ability to detect the devices on a network and build a network map based on what it finds. Windows 7 and Vista do this using a protocol called LLTD (Link Layer Topology Discovery). The LLTD Responder is built in to both Windows 7 and Vista. It's also being included in Access Points, Wireless Routers and some NAS devices that display the "Windows 7" Logo.
Among other things LLTD does is detect laptops and desktops that are connected via wireless and builds the network map accordingly. However, any wireless connections will show up only if there's something connected.
However, XP doesn't support the LLTD Responder natively and thus, when the network map is displayed, any PC's running XP (any flavor) will show up on the bottom of the page in their own area, unable to be placed on the map.
Microsoft has a hotfix that will add LLTD Responder support to XP. It does require a Genuine copy of XP and may also require providing your email address to get access to the hotfix. The hotfix only works with SP3 so make sure your system has it installed.
IMPORTANT: This hotfix needs to be installed on every PC running XP on the network.

Thank you Homer. I also noticed that IE9 can only be used on windows vista. Is that true or did I read that wrong??

I can use my favorites bar to save things but when i got to click on favorites and open something ...nothings there. this has been going on for awhile now. I have IE8 too. I am going to google IE9 and see if it helps.
Modified because I forgot to ask .... do I have to delete IE8 first or do I just download IE9 over the top of it ??
