How to get rid of the functionality of the home network?

Question

Computer networks

Now I have Windows 7 installed on all computers in the house. There is also a CentOS server on which I spin my projects, and which, in combination, is a repository of media resources on samba. There are 4 gigs of movies and other nonsense, which is sometimes needed. Let's say I download torrents on my computer, and I go to another room to watch a movie on a big TV. So here it is; it bothers me that Windows 7 stubbornly strives to connect only with another Windows 7. Even if you connect the balls as disks, then, on the next boot, these disks hang as not connected. It's hard to go through the explorer, and click on this disk so that it connects.

On whist, I remember there was no such crap with the network. But to put whist lazily. On the Internet, I saw solutions from the category of "go in, poke buttons, get the same eggs, only in profile." I am writing in the hope that one of the gurus will tell you, maybe some services can be cut off unnecessary or in the registry where to dig deeper. Well, or he will say that everything is useless, it's not worth even trying.

Answer 1

I'm not sure, but if you look at the win7 editions comparison table ,
you can assume that Win7HB does not have functionality for creating a home network and joining a domain.

Answer 2

can use the banal net use y: \\server\shara /persistent:yes

Answer 3

Doesn't the network drive, when the checkbox is set "Restore at logon", does not connect?
