Workstation dissapears?

[wolfshade]

I just obeserved that since i've entered the network i'm on now my workstation keeps dissapearing w/o trace and i dunno if here is a hacker or a setting i use.

I look in the registry and in the services windows IT JUST ISN"T THERE how can this be???

Now i've made an unattend and the same thing happens right after i install but no side effects that i could notice ... allthough i want to see it and disable it myself if it just dissapeared

Only thing that comes close is that i removed hyperterminal from installing from unattend.txt and i use autopatcher to run a defined update(all in cmdlines.txt) and disabled error reporting and used a "noupgrade flag".

Of course along with workstation alerter and a bunch of other stuff i don't use dissapear too i want to see them and keep 'em on disable till i decide to put them back on ...

there is a setting in the registry that enables u to hide your computer from getting browsed by other computers on the network

maybe u have that on? though its off by default...

could some1 please tell me what setting is that cuz workstation just dissapears on a random basis lthough i use the same settings like disable documents sharing, simple sharing and all the vulnerabilities hotfixes i could get from autopatcher.

i disabled all that resembles remote anything desktop, sharing etc. but i still want to set and see my services -- besides if alerter is on disable on my config workstation should always be on auto ... this is too strange especially cuz i read about every thing i did on my computer.

could some1 jut come in my computer and change that setting?
