VPN problem: There is more than one active network connection ...
This is one of those “it’s worked for months and it just stopped working”
stories. I tried to connect to my office VPN as I’ve been doing daily for months, and it didn’t work. Or more precisely, it seemed to work, then after a couple of seconds the name of my router was exchanged for “multiple networks” and a small yellow triangle broke the line between my PC and the place where my router had been on the network map. Disconnecting from the VPN cured the problem. But no-one had changed anything on the VPN or my PC – I just got a message when I clicked on the triangle to diagnose the problem that “There is more than one active network connection on this computer”. This has worked for a long, long time, and (honest!) I didn’t touch a thing. I don’t know if this helps, but when I disconnect from the VPN the “multiple networks” icon between my PC and the internet in the network map changes to read “Twist VPN” for a moment then the word “identifying…” comes up to be replaced, after a couple of moments, by the name of my router. Any ideas? Please? Here’s my ipconfig file: (I’ve substituted a couple of xxx’s ‘cos I’m not sure if I should publish real numbers – hopefully it doesn’t mar the information for you guys who understand this stuff and probably illustrates that I don’t!

Yes, and it didn't provide any meaningful help. And I did post the ipconfig
all result - did you not see it? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: We had a similar post before. Post the result of ipconfig /all may help. Or check this post.

VPN problem: There is more than one active network connection
Well, if I knew what one was, and how to obtain it, I would.
Fortunately the problem has disappeared as randomly as it appeared - didn't do anything, alter anything, at either end. It just "cured itself". Thanks for trying to help, anyways! I'm afraid the experience just goes into the pile marked "why my next computer will be an Apple". Vista has been a huge letdown in so many ways. "Robert L.
