Fun with Vista Network Maps

by brad 21. December 2007 08:51

Last night I played with the Vista Network Map (which, like many things in Vista, is cooler than it is useful).  It was a little bit of hassle, requiring the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder to be installed on our two XP machines, and a interesting hack to get the same to run on Windows Home Server.

When it was all said and done, I realized I need more computers.  This map is not nearly big enough.  Oh, and as you can see, all the machines in our home are named after characters from Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia.
