SYMPTOMS
A computer that is running Windows Home Server may appear two times in Network Explorer on a computer that is running Windows Vista.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if Network Explorer on the Windows Vista-based computer is configured to discover devices that use the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) protocol and the Web Services on Devices (WSD) protocol.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, configure Network Explorer on the Windows Vista-based computer not to discover devices that use the SSDP protocol or the WSD protocol. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, and then click Network.
 * 2) Right-click Network location, and then click Discovery Method.
 * 3) Click to clear the SSDP check box or the WSD check box.



MORE INFORMATION
The SSDP protocol is used to detect UPnP certified devices on a network. For more information about the SSDP protocol, visit the following Microsoft MSDN Web site:
