Thanks to all who take the time to post solutions. It's amazing what is available if you research it. Unfortunately, the solution does not seem to be where you would think you would find it first, i.e., Microsoft support.

Try opening the Security Policies editor (secpol.msc) to change the setting. Oh wait! Secpol.msc doesn’t exist on Vista Home Premium. Psych! Try settign LmCompatibilityLevel to 1 in the registry, then.

I'm fed up with the difficulties and delays with networked PCs showing up on a Vista machine, being there one minute, then unavailable the next. So I was glad to find this info. However, Local Security Policy console is not available in Vista Home Premium. Presumably an entry in the registry would do the trick; but what, please? With thanks.
