My wife has a Dell with Windows Vista business on it. The computer is on a
LAN connected to Win2K3 as a workgroup (non-domain). Vista's network shows
two networks, one private which shows all the other computers in the house
and one public. If any of the other computer attempt to share her printer
they are denied access unless I change the second public network to a
private network.

First I am not sure why Vista thinks there is two networks and why one of
them is public. Is there a way to join them or eliminate one?

Second whereas I keep setting the second network to private every time she
boots the system it reverts back to public which means we can't print. Any
idea how to keep it private if we can't solve the first issue?

All computer are on the same work group with common IP address. The Win2K3
server has two network cards and is configure with a NAT to the cable
modem. Obviously the cable modem has a different IP address group then the
LAN.

Regards,
John
 
Do you have two NICs in the Vista computer? Post the result of ipconfig /all here may help.

Thanks for the response Robert,

There is only one nic but there are two tunnels and it is setting up a
default gateway to the ISP and the server. Note sever is 192.168.0.1.

No turning off IP6 did not affect anything. Getting really annoying.
