I did not set to Public network
 

Why is my laptop set to Public Network?
I am at home on my LAN.

How do I fix this as it maybe causing me problems ?

If you are at home on your laptop it makes little difference, as the
privacy of your LAN is determined by the settings in the router for your
LAN. You know who is on you home network.

If you would go to a LAN outside of your home in an area you do not
consider safe. Click Notifications; ( the Square on the left corner of
your screen)

Click Network; (If you do not have Network in the Notifications,
Setting, System, Notifications and Actions, and add Network to
Notifications.)

Click the network you are connected;
Click Properties for this network.
Click the option you want for that network.

I believe it *does* make a difference. My understanding is that when
the network is set to "Public" your computer does not make its assets
(directory shares, printers, etc) known to other computers on the
network. If the network is set to "Private", then those assets are
broadcast, so "Private" is what you want on your home net.

My statement was base on the a home network like mine where the only
computers on the LAN belong to our family. It is behind the firewall
provided by the router, so non network computer can not access it.

If your Home network is in a semi public environment, ie a school dorm,
school, common to multiple apartments, etc then what I said would be wrong.

Please take your machine to a good Geek Shop who can fix it for you.
Make sure you don't bump into that chap called T{odd}. He's a Rogue
Trader pretending to know everything about Windows System.

I thought you were told to go away. We know you don't know how to post to
a ng, apparently you're too stubborn to understand a reply. So again, go
away and don't come back, nobody wants to hear from you.

If you don't want to hear from a troll, killfile him. That means the
rest of us who already have him killfiled don't have to read his
messages in your quotes.

It also means that he will get tired of getting no replies. *That*
will make him go away; your insults will not.
