Hi there!
I would like to make my computer invisible on the network... I've been searching but can't find out how to do it! I tried doing the "net config server /hidden:yes" in cmd but my computer says that access is denied...
I can't find any software to make my computer invisible...
Could you please help me?
Thank you very much
V.
P.S.: My computer is a Vista...

For Windows Vista, I found this in the help:
What is network discovery?
Network discovery is a network setting that determines whether your computer can see (find) other computers and devices on the network and whether other computers on the network can see yours.
There are three states of network discovery:
Enabled
This state allows your computer to display other computers and devices on the network and allows users of other computers on the network to see your computer. This makes it easier to share files and printers.
Disabled
This state prevents your computer from displaying other computers and devices on the network and prevents users of other computers on the network from seeing your computer.
Customized
The Customized state is a mixed state in which some settings related to network discovery are enabled, but not all network discovery settings are. For example, network discovery is enabled, but you (or your system administrator) have disabled a firewall exception that affects network discovery.
Network locations
When you connect to a network, you must choose a network location. Depending on the network location you choose, Windows assigns a network discovery state to the network and opens the appropriate ports in the Windows Firewall for that state. For more information about network locations, see Choosing a network location.
