Windows 7 indicates "unidentified network".

Hi all

We have a strange problem and I was wondering if anyone of you has a solution for it:

We have about 60-70 PCs of Windows7 on a network of unique working group, all PC affect IP via DHCP addresses. Sometimes, some of the PC connection shows "unidentified network". We have tried to disable the Bonjour service as stated in some articles online, but nothing helped.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Josiah,

Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. Appropriate in the TechNet forums.

Please post your question in the Windows 7 IT Pro TechNet Forums: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w7itpro

  • Windows 7 Pro - unidentified network domain PC connected Via Ethernet

    Hello - we have several machines Windows 7 is joined to our domain.  Recently when move us a PC from one place in the building to the other and connect them to wired ethernet, they get the 'unidentified network' and it shows as 'public '.  If plug back us them on their original network node, it works very well and finds the network, no problem.

    I did all the deforestation of the intellectual property, the command netsh, updated drivers, etc., but does not know what is happening.  Nothing has changed on the switches.  If I move a Windows XP computer, it works as expected.

  • Windows Vista - unidentified network Local Access only tried everything please help

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire M1610 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 and 2 days ago when I turned it on the internet was not working and it says unidentified network Local access only. I use a wired Ethernet connection. I don't know how it happened as before I had used the computer as usual and the Internet worked very well. I did a lot of research and read a few forum posts about this problem and tried a few solutions but non of them worked. I tried the following:
    (1) disable my firewall and anti-virus who didn't work, I turned their back on immediately.

    2) press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

    Type route delete 0.0.0.0 press ENTER.

    Type ipconfig/flushdns press enter

    Restart your computer.

    (3) the internet protocol version 6 clear, disable and enable the thing

    (4) if same Norton software removal tool I had uninstalled the when I got the computer I read that uninstall it by using uninstall windows is not entirely remove it.

    (5) another thing in the command prompt I don't remember exactly what it was, and I can't find the site Web is because I looked so much of.

    (6) I even reset my computer to factory settings and then uninstalled all unnecessary software and trials that come with and used the software again Norton removal tool.

  • 'Unidentified network' after every reboot with Windows 7

    Hi guys,.

    It seems to be a large number of people with this problem and a multitude of suggestions on how to fix it. I had no chance.
    So far, I've tried everything, including the quite this long list here (excluding those of the 'method III' that I'm working through): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-7-loses-my-network-and-becomes-an/7b305de9-3793-4c32-b9da-a1f83d6a57b2

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and my network card is an Asus USB - N13 which has drivers updated.
    As the title says the issue of the "unidentified network" occurs whenever I restart the computer. It's interesting when when the computer "connects" to my wireless network but is on an 'unidentified network' of my router do not see. Not totally sure what to do this.

    If it helps two temporary fixes, I found iinclude:

    Reset stack TCP/IP as follows (taken from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/homegroup-network-disappeared-on-desktop-replaced/258ca60f-d2bf-41f5-a37a-ff391d64e0d2)

    a. click the Start button, type cmd.
    b. now in the result of research with right-click on cmd.exe and selectrun as administrator.
    c. Enter the following commands, one at a time, and press ENTER:
     
    ipconfig/flushdns
    nbtstat-r
    nbtstat - RR
    netsh int Reinitialis
    netsh int ip reset
    netsh winsock reset

    d. restart the computer.

    As well as the removal of the network, uninstall the network driver and restart the computer.

    Patches above must be reapplied the next time I turn on the computer much.

    This question is particularly annoying for me because I plan to use the computer as a server without a head but I can't connect to it remotely because of this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. See you soon.

    Try to disable IPv6 on this card and see if that helps.

  • How can I get unidentified network settings stick, private and change its name?

    I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my computer at home, because my Internet is wireless usb (AT & T Quicksilver) device that can be plugged directly into my router (Linksys WRT110).  Given that the router accepts only as an internet connection ethernet cables, instead I use my desktop computer as the connection (ICS) and using the router only as a hub, essentially.

    Everything is working well at the moment.  The Office will connect to the internet and other computers and devices connected to the router (wired and wireless) are all works well and can share the internet connection.

    But whenever I restart the desktop computer, the default network is "unidentified network" and as a type of 'Public' without discovery service.  So every time I go to network settings and make it private.  It works fine until the next reboot.  In addition, I am not able to change the network name.  The field seems open for entry, but selecting and typing does nothing.

    I don't know if it's relevant, but other devices to connect to the network are laptops (of various working groups, need to be since they are mainly used to work) and a DirecTV DVR, using Mediashare (via Windows Media Server).  Yet once, they all work, after doing the private network, but this is lost at every restart of the desktop computer.

    I wish I could have it be a private network that is identified by a name and keep these parameters at each reboot.  But I have yet to find an online solution that worked for me.

    Matt,

    Thank you very much.  It worked like a charm.  I was pulling my hair out on this one for a few months.  Once again, a big thank you!

    For anyone else trying to solve the same problem, here is the summary of the solution.

    I have already had no default gateway specified.  As advised by Matt, I right click on the Local network connection (in network and sharing Center / manage network connections) and went in the IPV4 properties and put in the address of a default gateway (equal to the IP address of my router/hub).  I left the ICS settings and all the way IP addresses which I had them before (with zero in the third byte of the IP address of all and ICS turned on).  I have no registry changes.  The only change is the default gateway.  After this change, a wizard appears to allow me to set up the network properly.  And I could rename and define the private network.  And the changes were intact after several reboots.  Perfect.
