created a network bridge, 'multiple networks' problem
ok, my desktop is at the other end of my house so an Ethernet cord will not
reach it, but I do have a wireless router and a laptop. My setup is only temporary and it is kind of crude. and both systems have vista on them. I used the laptop to connect to the wireless router, then I connected my desktop to the ethernet slot in my laptop. I then created a network bridge between both of the connections on my laptop. After tinkering with it my desktop was able to access the internet. Today I needed my laptop so I unplugged it from my desktop but when I re-connected the ethernet I could no longer access web pages (network file sharing still worked). Vista told me that the problem was because there were multiple networks (one called network 2 and one called Unidentified Network). So I clicked on "merge and delete networks" but only "network 2" showed up there. I've tried everything I can think of but noting will fix the problem. help please

Hi
Could be that the laptop connected by a mistake to a neighboring Wireless Network. Keep your Wireless preference clean and make sure that your Wireless SSID is the only entry that it is connected to automatically. Jack (MVP-Networking).
