I am working in an organiztion, i usually get probems related to comp not browsing. when i go to check in open network and sharing...under view your active networks it shows me public network and its greyed out. I am not able to change it to work network.

Hi,
Based on my research, please try the following:
1. Please make sure that the following services are enabled and running.
- DNS Client
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
2. Run this Microsoft Fixit and see how it works.
Windows 7 Network connections are stuck in Public mode
