I'm having the same problem. I can't do get anything on the workgroup to display no matter what I try, it is completely broken. I've removed a lot less than with previous versions that seemed to work fine even when I removed a ton of stuff. Also, if I unplug the network cable and then plug it back in, it won't say it is connected. It will still say that the network cable is unplugged. I have to disable the connection and then re-enable it before I can connect to the internet. These are the only tweaks I have down for network, if you need more info I can supply it. Network-Disable DCOM protocol bindings Network-Disable Microsoft-DS (close port 445 TCP/UDP)
