With the router which came with my Plusnet contract I can see the Network map when I select "see full map" in the "Network and sharing centre" section of control panel.
Using my BiPAC 7800(N) I cannot see the map.
Are there some settings which I cant find which will allow network discovery.

Re: Network Discovery
Try the following
In network and sharing centre, under 'View your active networks' make sure you set the network location to 'Home'

OK billion_fan, thanks for going to the trouble of showing that but it was already set. I have also checked in the "Local Area Connection Properties" and both "Link Layer Topology Discovery Mapper" & "Link Layer Discovery Responder" are ticked.
In the "Administrive Events Viewer" I get an Error "Session"Homegroup Log" failed to start etc.......

Re: Network Discovery
OK billion_fan, that worked, don't know why because Microsoft help says it should be set. Also it was set when my other router was providing the network map, this is what led me to believe it was some setting in the router rather than on my PC.
Thanks anyway.
