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 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2578723 More information: Network Location Awareness Hope this helps. Jeremy Wu TechNet Community Support
