I'm trying to setup a home network that will be friendly to samba shares and I want to make sure I have established a Home Network and NOT a business network (under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings>Change Settings>Network ID) I enter the options I want and am prompted to restart. Upon restarting, everything is as it was before (done this step several times). Also tried to change the workgroup name just to try it, and that reverted back to the default upon restart too. Please help!

Hi, To troubleshoot the issue, here are some suggestions you can try: 1. Please bypass the router or switcher and connect to the DSL Modem via wired cable, and then try to change the option again. 2. If the issue persists, please take the machine in another home network for a test. 3. Temporarily turn off firewall and disable IPv6 in Network Connections’ Properties. 4. If the machine was joined a domain, please clear the previous group policy. Thanks, Novak

Here in my case, Lenovo Diagnose always indicated NOT internet [in fact intranet ] on the VDSL modern , other hand router work well, no error similarly. 2) How can I clear group policy ? In the advanced firewall setting, I did restore default in_out bound settings. Where the group policy stack in please? 3) From right click computer \ property \ change setting network \ "NETwork ID" try to change into Home_network however several reboot finally, it bring me up only "this is part of business network" ignore whatever work group name I nominated before. May I ask you why please? 4) My IPV6 already disabled from ISP _ connection at share_center... 5) Withe the VDSL modern, releasing me just "LOCAL AREA CONFIG not fixed" while no internet contact ISP by Lenovo diagnose tool 6) Modern also error : "You are connected to Host or domain [where to clear? ], look for your administrator, Jesus I am Administrator, " How can I grab back my Authentication? 7) I have been threaded into these problem by over month.. Re_installation means generate more PID of Ultimate update , what can I , how to do now ? BLEU OISOU Julie L. HUANG
