Hey guys so I have a problem, I've tried lots of fixes and none of them worked. My network is a home network and everything used to be working fine until the power cut in my house. Then it came back and cut again. Then the internet worked. However it didnt work on my computer. Everything else was working around the house. My brothers computer had the internet working fine and the wireless was working fine, but my computer kept saying Identifying.... Unidentified network. I have never had this problem. I thought something was wrong with the internet cable so I tried to plug it into my laptop and the internet worked on my latptop. I tried it on another and it also worked. I put it back in my computer and it again kept saying... indentifying... unidentified network. I thought something was wrong with my windows so I did a system restore. It didnt fix the problem. I reinstalled Windows 7 and it also didnt fix the problem.. I tried to delete the network device from device manager then restart my computer... Then it automatically installs but also it didnt work.. I tried to disable and re-enable but it also didnt work.. you see all the stuff I did... I tried to reset the router but it also didn't work... I also tried to place my cable in another port... again nothing... Is there anything else I can do..?

Someone please help. I need to solve this fast...

I had the following problem No internet Unidentified Network (Public Network) on local network LAN cable I fixed it as follows: 1. Create a .CMD file "FixNetwork.CMD" for example The file contains the following commands (cut and paste if you like) @ECHO OFF ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /setclassid ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /renew ROUTE PRINT ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0 netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt EXIT 2. Right click FixNetwork.CMD Run as ADMINISTRATOR The program will start. 3. Unplug the network LAN cable on the computer and wait for the program to completely finish. 4. Plug network LAN cable back into the computer Network connection should be fixed and no more "Unidentified Network" I have not tried but disabling a wireless adapter in place of unplugging the LAN cable may fix Wirless problem?

You are correct about the default gateway setting. That is how NLA detects unidentified networks. The solution is to change your security settings so that unidentified networks are not marked as public. That is the default (to protect you from attack when connecting to public networks such as hot spots) but like all settings it can be changed. In a closed network like yours you can safely change the setting to make unidentified networks private.

Thanks for the direction. I'll give it shot and report back here. I've been at wits end trying to get this simple 2 PC network to function.
