If you disable network discovery, this means that you also have to disable file and folder sharing.

 

The best you could do is disable all public folders in WHS and just password protect them or limit them to certain user accounts.

What is you goal here? hide the data from other pc's, or hide the Server from other PC's so you parents don't know you running a server 24/7?
