When I purchased my new desktop with Vista pre-installed, I had the Unidentified Network problem and solved it by setting the default gateway to the same IP address I'm using for my home lan. This worked, and I was able to rename the network and everything was good, until I tried to connect my laptop to my workgroup and copy a file over. I then discovered that the Unidentified Network had returned. This is only an issue with my workgroup NIC and does not affect my Internet connection. Hopefully, I'm not rambling too much. NIC 1: connected to Netgear switch using a static IP address and used for my LAN - Unidentified Network NIC 2: connected to Netgear router using DHCP used for Internet access - called Earthlink. any helps/insights would be greatly appreciated. |
