Unidentified Network Issues
I have tried every suggestion on this and other tech net sites with zero
results. I bought an HP Pavilion three weeks ago and righ out of the box, the on-board NIC (Intel Pro-100) shows up as "Unidentified Network (Public Network)" I can change it to Private, but cannot rename it. It reverts back to public on a reboot. ICS does not work well if the internal netwrok is a public network. After any reboot, I have to reset the network to "Private" - I have downloaded updated drivers for the NIC. Didn't work. - I have disabled IPv6 (Doesn't appear to work anyway - system would give itself an internal private adress and the toredo tunnel doesn't show up.) Didn't work. - Turned off Windows firewall, Didn't work. -- Turned it back on. didn't work - Internal NIC will not accept a default gateway because the IP address assigned to it by ICS is the gateway. - Disabled on-board NIC and inserted a separate NIC (Realtek 8139) Driver dated July 2007. - On-board wireless is disabled.

Unidentified Network Issues
The adapter: PPP adapter Sprint Mobile Broadband - Novatel Wireless:
is my dialup modem (Sprint AirCard) that provides our household internet access. The adapter: Ethernet adapter Wired-Wireless: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Is going to my wirless router which is how our other computers connect to this computer in order to get out to the internet. - This NIC will not accept a default gateway because it IS the default gateway for my home network to get to the internet. MY ISP (Sprint) has decided to NOT assign a default gateway through their DHCP server, therefore there is no default gateway on my internet connection. I don't have the luxury of being able to connect a router directly to my internet connection. My PCMCIA card for accessing the internet must be connected to a computer. There is a router out there that will accept my AirCard, but it is over $200 and it doesn't allow VPN tunneling (something I use to maintain my enterprise of 72,000 systems after hours). I read somewhere else in one of these threads that Microsoft designed Vista to not allow private networks on any systems that already have a public network. If microsoft believes that everyone has the capability to tie into a DSL or cable modem, they are sadly mistaken. There are millions of Americans that cannot get any of that. Instead we are stuck with Satellite, Cellular, or (even worse) landline modems. I recently had to use a landline modem and it was slower than watching grass grow. Sprint AirCards are the fastest thing in this neck of the woods and that was only after placing a directional beam antenna on top of a 40 foot pole pointed at the nearest CDMA tower. Bottom line: I have to have the PPP Adapter to Sprint and I have to have one NIC operational in addition to that. If it's any consolation....I can change the name of my true Public network all day long. I want to change the name of my Private network AND!!!! I would like it to stay private after a reboot of the system. I have tried ALL the suggestions from ChicagoTech. They didn't help. -Frustrated- (MCP) "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: The multihomed Vista may receive "Unidentified network" message if it is configured incorrectly.

Unidentified Network Issues
Bob,
Thanks for your help. I reactivated the (onboard) IntelPro 100+ into the systems and it is working great. Don't know why it wouldn't before, maybe just had to be reinitialized. This time it did install a different driver than the one it came with. I now have my Private Network that says HOME and it stays on restart. -mike- MCP "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Posting back with the routing table may help.

There is a router out there that will accept my AirCard, but it is over $200 and it doesn't allow VPN tunneling (something I use to maintain my enterprise of 72,000 systems after hours).
