Also, you may need to rename the workgroup. The default is MSHOME. Change it to something else, say, LABPC. If no other computers join the workgroup, which they would not in this case, the software in question should see there are no other PC's in the group and therefore see it as a stand alone.

After right clicking on "My Network Places" I get a box that says 'You have no network drives to disconnect'. What else could I try?
Thanks
