Cannot change active network from public to home in Windows 7

Question

Hello,  I have just installed Windows 7 RC 7100.  I have a netgear fa311 network card, which it did not automatically install.  I manually installed the drivbers and now it has identified my home network as a "Public network" so I can not connect to the internet.  I can't seem to find any way to change this to the "Home network".  Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

Hello,  Tried that! The"Public network" text is not a link!!  Not here on this pc anyway!  The ip address I have is 169.254.172.117 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0

TO modify the Networks , some next places maybe need pay attentions first ...
0) Connection via WLAN or LAN; Router or Modern or else
     '0.1)  "MULTIPLE NETWORKS" means too many things ... router, interface, communication category as well their configurations so on ...
               it is not simple "unidentified Network " change to Home or workstation network ? !
1) Network Share Center \ chose home and network option
2) Anti_Virus FireWall's Inbound:Outbound settings
3) Microsoft Computer \ services settings
4) Dos Administrator \ netsh ? settings
      4.1)  Powershell \ settings << Dos cmd , why?
      4.2) netsh ras > except PPPoE 1  that is my registered wanport, there are as many as 8 more connection available like pptp,  etc... they are indeed
             running ? Although in Router configuration , PPTP already has been set to "deny" ?
5) Search \ secpol.msc settings
6->) Why the default network ISP giving connection retained reserving at MULTIPLE        
       NETWORK     which is under the search now.

      This article described how a server configure its up to five IPs from the NT Server. 
      My PC client has been merged by NT as its Client . Since my PC now connecting internet      
      THROUGH Multiple Network.
      It is either using my ISP authority on Win 8 for multi_monitor or playing NT server . It just  
      treat     me as one of its clients.
     How can I fix this , try hard Julie by yourself?
     "Advance IP Address nowhere to find [as it is for Server parameter], this is for NT server to      
      configure the IP intranet more than one address to access different servers at routine  situations.

          ------> CSS reset can solve this.
         ------>E-certification with Microsoft function connection setting solve this ..
      With Password manager of Lenovo , it will lose features of Certification migration as well,  the
      Phrase advance Security Protection THAN  "Client Security Solution" by Lenovo
      Therefore, CSS (instead Password Manager) can be intruded at that time probably by " some "
12) The beneath Error contacting ISP still stay with Modern VSDL  :(   REF_ 15) 16)
13) Having been questioned whether  am I installing switch  or NT server on the router ... 
      Three are be some symptom indicated that but unable to be ? Agency said just ask briefly after
      repeated .
      13-0) [802.1x allow wire and AP wireless  access point to flow through PC although
               Authenticator both]
      13_1)MY XP motherboard  [UUID:80BC1E5333640010AEC1C8D08A1DEE15/M:8425LB9/SN:]
               has been lost nearly two years which can play as NT server. Switch is  nothing device
               for   me .   ANY detective on it by organization or personal would be rewarded.
14) ACS [Authentication Control Server] control Modern ISP output signal definitively , the Contract 
      description on web server Plan is one of main reasons? THE ISP insist not to change it right while 
      trail_case follower Mr. resigned this week.  
15) ISP suppliant Speed critical factor upon whose get Authentication first then , the ICMP action ?
       15-1) Why my ISP plan 30M , shown connection speed but100M
       15-2) In fact, the ISP has not rendered me right Order Product appropriated with the PLAN for
                over one year from very beginning. That is one of why ACS can't detect me well. On side of both contract and exclusively
                offering VDSL modern
       15-3) e-certification secure the connection however, clear text transaction hole also.
16)   With Cisco Router, it seemingly connected Internet as the Model unable find input is

        16-0) There is fe::  ipv6 address likely address through the [adapter teredo pseudo interface] by ipconfig  , obviously told me wireless through ?
        16-1) By only ISP Modern ,   there is indeed NO Internet that is why the Screenshot down.
                 Then why at this condition, browser internet looks OK? Because the Wireless [multiple
                 Local connection] Ref_15  took the Authentication_Account first, secondly, Created
                 call  AD_HOC wireless function to make the all networking devices on net that is
                 INTRANET. 
        16-2) @OFCA.gov.hk, local communication Management ,   is negotiating with ISP locally for one week since June 27 2012 received
                 the report.   Only contract it working on , last contact at Aug. 2nd 2012   retaining along with ISP company today Aug. 25 2012
17) Have you thought of PC purchase area and location bringing you something differences ?
      17.1    the order win7 home premium changed into workstation when it arrived home. :(
                 well, have to pay attentions that the WORKSTATION has two interface available on the NetworkCard that one to Internet and another to
                 OS. How it can be set to , route to then,  it will all depend on the capability inter_against_act  among the Hardware, Software and Firewall 
                  etc. so on .
18) ISP  adequately protracting your account, example,   all register info correct,  firewall right configuration time by time?
19) Microsoft alert anything when you re_active own PC license  ?
20)
All you pointing out Services and Applications on the Media related no found . Might be hidden?
The problem "Multiple Network" is an Intrusion NetworkCard  imposing
illegally using my account. A 30M_WIRE_24m+1m  e-agreement.
Then, the imposter  built a wireless network before I could connect to the ISP server.
This made me only can get a Wireless address shown by the IPV6 FE80::
which implying a wireless service working on.
DNS  auto jump to >172.x.x.x private 218.x.x.x  while disabled the directly connection to ISP DHCP server.
Suffix @netvigator.com appending  configuration not available.  Obviously my PC has been routed to one Private
Route/Switch device, the Unknown shown in Mapping Network for over four months.
NOW THE UNKNOWN DEVICE DO ANYTHING WHAT THEY WANT WHENEVER SECOND. 
ISP has no effective and efficiency reaction for it .  Since when the e-Contract started , it has plotted to fool the client by
created two  unclear e-contracts, Effective Date jump to Before the Modern Agency arrive to my home,  on the just agreeable website.
Local @ofca.gov.hk of communication department retain along with ISP company 2 months.
WHO , WHERE BEST FOR A CLIENT TO GET HELP FOR THIS PLEASE?
21) others at later time...
