"Unidentified network", can't turn on sharing
I have got an Asus mother that has 2 lan ports. One is connected to Comcast internet and the other is connected to a small home lan with some couple of devices on it. I am using ICS with my home computer to let my home lan devices access the internet. After I installed Vista then the internet was working fine, but the home network was showing "Unidentified network". I can change the same to Private but I am not able to rename it to Home lan because the name Unidentified Network is read-only. Can anyone help me in this situation. Thanks
Re: "Unidentified network", can't turn on sharing
Even I was facing same issue after installing Vista and after so much troubleshooting I finally found the solution. You have to Turn off the power-saving option in the network adapter's properties (wired network adapters only). And then uncheck the adapter properties and power saving option and then the home network will appear again.
Re: "Unidentified network", can't turn on sharing
I followed your solution but that didnt work for me. The network that I am using is on and working, but it's still giving me "Unidentified Network". My main issue is that I am not able to turn on file or printer sharing without turning it on for the internet connection that I am using as well as the NIC?
