Networks Keep Changing Type
Hey Folks, I have what, to me, is an odd problem. My main machine has two NICs, one built on to the motherboard (for Internet) and one expansion card (for Lan). The problem is that Win 7 keeps changing the network profiles. After a couple of hours the Internet connection will change to a Work Network (from Public Network) and the Lan connection will change from Work to Public. I can always tell when it happens becuase I lose access to my storage machine. My other machine is running XP Pro and it's being fairly good about the whole thing :-) Is there some setting that I"m missing - maybe something labelled "Randomize Network Connections"? This is quite annoying. Any ideas?-- Rob

Hi, It is a multihomed system. You need to pay attention to the Default Gateway. The following KB article can be helpful. Default Gateway Configuration for Multihomed Computers Arthur Xie - MSFT
