Is there any difference between a home and work network? Or are they the same settings and just there for our own classification purposes?

A homegroup and a workgroup? Very little difference, if any. But a homegroup will only work withWindows 7 computers, while a workgroup will work with almost any.I recommend the workgroup, since it's more versatile.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003Ken Blake

Yes, there is a difference between home and work network. Please see this website. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Choosing-a-network-locationEric

thanks. So looks like the only difference between a home network and a work network is just being able to use a homegroup.

Well so in Windows Vista there is absolutely NO Difference ?
