Hiding in the LAN

In the LAN, we usually like turning over "Network neighbors", because some people often share wonderful movies with games. But "Network neighbors" have a disadvantage: Even if you do not share, your computer will also see "Network neighbors". For privacy and security considerations, is there any stealth in the lan, but does not affect Internet access? The following describes two methods for hiding in the LAN. Take XP as an example:

Method 1: Right-click the "Network Neighbor" icon and select "attribute" in the pop-up menu ". In the "Network Connection" window, right-click the "local connection" icon and select "properties ". In the "Local Connection Properties" window, remove the check before the "file and printer sharing for Microsoft Network" option and click "OK ". Restart the system.

Method 2: click "start"> "run", enter "regedit" to run "Registry Editor", locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYS TEMCurrent ControlSetServicesLanManServerParameters", and right click on the blank area on the right, select "new", create a "DWORD Value", name it "Hidden", and set the value of this key value to "1 ". Restart.

Through the above settings, you can hide the local machine in the LAN, but it does not affect the Internet function.
