Hello. I have a home network setup that includes 2 wired and 2 wireless
connections. Everything works OK and I am able to access all of the
computers. I just happened to look at the My Network Places area and noticed
that under "Network Location" it says Local Network for my computer but
Internet for the other three. Does this sound correct? It sems logical that
all of the computers should say Local Network.

Thanks

That's seen here occasionally, and it's generally caused by a firewall with an
improperly set local (trusted) zone.
