In most cases, Unidentified Network is incompatible issue. You may try to
disable IPv6 first. Or these links may help.

I have exactly the same problem and it does not get resolved by any of the
fixes suggested in numerous forums around the web. I have a 32-bit Vista Home
Premium on Dell XPS M1330

Here is what I have done so far:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233
- disabled McAfee and Windows firewalls
- disabled IPv6
- installed a MS fix, can't find it right now, suggested earlier here
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Troub...ms-55692.shtml
- made sure I cleared the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power check box
- run the Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool and it came back fine
- made sure all drivers were updated
- just did the netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled and
got a message: Set global command failed on IPv4 The requested operation
requires elevation

What else can I do???? This is so annoying, I am traveling again to a
developing country this week and expect that I will not be able to connect to
a network in the hotel again like it happened last month in India! There the
XP computer of my colleague connected just fine and I could not get to the
network at all! Or if I did, it was for a minute or two and then dropped
again. At home my connection periodically drops - while still showing that I
am connected to Local and Internet, if my VPN is on, it works, but no
browsing and no email happens. Help!!!

The command needs to run as administrator. This post may help.

The admin rights link helped, thank you. I hope it works. I will keep it in
mind for the IPv6, is it safe to remove it completely?

I will post back to tell whether the problems persisted when using other
neworks.
Thanks.
