Unidentified network using Hub
One of the three computers within the house will no longer connect to the internet via the Hub, the other computers are fine. The system indicates only local connection available and if you hover over the wireless connection icon, it states that it is an unidentified network. We have tried following the connection help advice to no avail. Can anyone suggest what the problem is and how we can rectify it?
Please bear in mind I am a complete computer novice and the original set up was undertaken by my ex husband, so I don't really know what I am doing!
Hi,
should be basically the same, I was looking to find out what wireless lan card you were using in the laptop with the probs and the others without.
I do not use either vista or a homehub but have a read of these pages , if might give you some ideas to check out:

Satellite L850 - Unidentified network trying to use LAN card
I have the Satellite L850 and have been using the wireless without any issues.
Now I find I cannot get the network to work just using my Ethernet cable.
I have tried disabling the wifi and enabling the realtech PCIe family controller, which is the LAN connection, but I keep getting unidentified network.
Is there some sort of confliction between the wifi even though it is disabled and the LAN connection.
I am tearing my hair out. The LAN worked fine before I decided to try the WIFI.Hi
The Unidentified Network problem can be related to different causes and therefore different workarounds could be possible.
First of all I would recommend you to uninstall the LAN card driver.
This can be done within the device manager. After the driver has been removed, reboot the notebook and install the LAN driver which you could download from the Toshiba driver page.
2nd workaround: Reset the reset TCP/IP protocol
To do that, check the Microsoft knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
Check also if you some security tools (Mcafee, firewall, antivirus software) dont affect the network connectivity. -
"Unidentified network" in Domain enviroment
I have setup Lan routing millions of times on Server 2012 in Domain environment.
DC1.
ip: 10.10.0.10 mask: 255.255.0.0 gw: 10.10.0.1
Router:
ip: 10.10.0.1 (internal) mask 255.255.0.0
ip2: 192.168.1.12 (external) mask: 255.255.255.0 gw: 192.168.1.1
The problem is that the External interface saying "Unidentified network" (when I dont have any GW), when I have a GW and it have Internet access with 8.8.8.8 as DNS it says "network", not my Domain name!
The external interface have not registered in DNS on DC1.
And yes. I have disabled the Nic, and I can ping everything. The FW are off.
I am running this on ESXi. The free version.
Been at this for a day now. I have also reinstall the server, same issue.Hi,
Since AD is rely on DNS, where is your local DNS then?
Assume it is installed on the DC, I also wonder if the router works as a DNS as well.
For local clients, set your domain DNS as primary DNS. You can do this via DHCP 003 option. Regarding external name resolution, use root hint or forward to your IPS DNS.
Hope this helps. -
Print server belkin network USB Hub (F5L009)
I just bough a Belkin network USB Hub print server and downloaded from their website the mac 10.4 compatible software (their is no 10.5 yet), when I want to open the application I get this error message: _SXUPTP Driver has not been installed, please reinstall the application._
I called Belkin and they said that they were not using this driver and that it was a Mac issue so I call Mac and they said it's a Belkin issue. How do I fix that error? Please Help!
ThanksI agree! Like I said, I've been using it for a couple of weeks with NO problems - but I was on 10.4 (Belkin posted the beta Mac driver just a couple of weeks ago). This is the ONLY item that didn't work flawlessly after upgrading. Unfortunately, the Belkin customer support is almost non-existent...in fact, their reply to me was via a posting on a web page (thereby eliminating the possibility of me seeing a Belkin email address to which I could then reply to).
However - I will also say that for the two weeks that it worked with my Mac - it worked perfectly! For now, though, it's back to being a gateway for my wife and kids assorted XP machines. -
Unable to connect to network/Internet: Invalid IP configuation / Unidentified Network
Okay, I've got a really strange problem. I haven't been able to find a solution online (well, I found a lot of "solutions" but none of them have worked so far), and the IT company I work with hasn't had a solution either. We're all completely baffled.
I have 2 brand new computers (both are Windows 8 Pro machines that were downgraded to Windows 7 Pro prior to me receiving them), I took them out of the box yesterday. I was planning to get software installed on the first one today. However, I have not been
able to put the computer on the network properly (not even long enough to make it part of the domain). After trying to make the first computer work for a few hours, I tried the second - same problem.
Here's what I'm encountering: Whenever the network is active, the status reads "unidentified network - no Internet access". If I run "diagnose" on the network connection, it tells me that the "local area connection doesn't have a
valid ip configuration".
I have tried a lot of possible solutions, including (but not limited to):
Disabling/Re-enabling the network connection
3 different Ethernet cables (including 2 that were pulled out of the back of other - Windows XP - computers that are functioning properly)
Countless restarts
Unplugging everything for about 3 hours and then trying again
Repairing TCP/IP
ROUTE DELETE 0.0.0.0
Manually assigning an IP address (though I'm not confidant I had the correct information)
Updating the drivers (up to date - though it has no Internet connection, so who knows for sure)
Restarting our server (that powers the domain)
Uninstalling McAfee (this was preinstalled on the machines)
Disabling the Windows Firewall
Checking startup services for some odd looking ID string service.
Disabling TCP/IPv6
sfc /scannow
This office currently has 5 Windows XP computers, 4 Windows 7 computers, and various other wired and wireless devices that aren't having any trouble connecting to the network. It's just these two new computers.
Can anyone offer advice? I'd be interested in knowing what the correct default IP configuration is for the computers (or how to learn it). Ipconfig doesn't help - there doesn't seem to be an IP address assigned.Hi JoshLindquist,
Please explain a bit about the following questions:
1. Do you means that when you run “ipconfig -all”, there are no IP address assigned to these two computer or we got 169.xx.xx.xx IP?
2. Do you use the DHCP server to assign the IP address?
If you use the DHCP server, please contact the IT system admin to check if we need to add the MAC address to the allow list.
For more information about allow list, please refer to the following blog.

TAP driver / identified vs unidentified networks
Hi. I'm running Win7 build 7000, trying to get both my OpenVPN connection and my coLinux connection (TAP-Win32 v9.0.0.4 and 8.0.0.4 respectively) to be identified as Home networks.
Currently they each show as "Unidentified network" / "Local only" (sometimes even as participating in the same unidentified network.) "Local only" is correct, as I don't want to use them as default routes; and I certainly care that I can't name them, but I would like to figure out how to set things up so that I don't have to mark them as Home/Private networks every boot.
What makes a network "unidentified"? Absence of a gateway? dhcpv6? I tried adding a connection-specific DNS suffix to each :)
What makes a network identifiable?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Arya

"Unidentified Network" -local access -- when connecting vista 64 bit to WRTP54G router
Windows Vista will not connect to wrtp54g router (9 outta 10 times). States that it is an "Unidentified Network", and i have no access to the internet, or xbox 360. I cannot enter the router settings either
There is no problem connecting directly to the modem and then the internet.
Device manager shows no problems with Nvidia network controller. Xp Pro had no issues connecting to internet or home network.
I reset the router, no help. ipconig/release then- renew -- no help. (vista has all updates), Firewall on / off-- no difference
tried another wrtp54g -- same problem
Please Help ?I got into the interface -- turned off firewall-- allowed local network, but no internet--so no use. I dont have a wireless card in my desktop -- so didnt connect wirelessly. Have xbox 360 running on wired connection also -- it has always connect without problems. No changes in interface cured the problem.
I did try the registry entry fix, givin in another help window - supplied by microsoft-- called "Windows Vista cannot obtain an ip address from certain routers or from certain non-microsoft DHCP servers". (Article ID :928233 - link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233)--- have rebooted 3 times and has connected and recognized the router every time. Crossing my fingers that its a permanent fix.
Hopes that helps others out there

Unidentified Network appears Windows 7 pro reboot and stops NW access
I have a Dell T3500 workstation which had Windows 7pro problem is whenever I reboot NW access fails. In Network Sharing there are 2 networks "Local area " and "public Network". I have to disable the NW Adapter and enable
each time to get rid of the "public Network" and recover NW access.
How can I fix this?Hi viren84,
Please first take a try with the network troubleshooter:
Using the Network troubleshooter in Windows 7
For more Internet connection troubleshooting, see:
Wired and wireless network problems
Regarding Unidentified Network, that because the network are indetified as public, which is not safe enough:
More on:
Network Location Awareness (NLA) and how it relates to Windows Firewall Profiles.
You may consider change it to work profile:
Change ‘Unidentified network’ from Public to Work in Windows 7

I am using wired connection.
Note : It is not a permanent issue, it gets resolved automatically ,but after a week it again arises.
It was working fine today but stopped without any error message.
Thanks in advance for the solutionHi,
Here is some methods you can try to fix this problem.
Firstly, excute these command below in evevated CMD:
netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Unidentified Network after second reboot
I have a problem with my Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565. First boot after the installation everything works fine, but when I restart my computer I only get Unidentified Network. I have tried to reinstall the driver, but to no help.
Help will be greatly appreciatedHi MSkiel,
Runned the Network troubleshooter? Right click on the network icon on taskbar, then select troubleshoot problems.
Please also check the following aspects:
1. Did you install any 3rd-party anti-virus on Windows 10?
If yes, please uninstall them (use Windows Defender instead), then reboot to check the network.
2. Check if any NIC related software installed, disble it or uninstall it, or seek help at the manufacturer side;
3. Check your router (or the ISP side) side, if possible, reset it to check network connectivity, some routers may have DHCP related issues that may cause IP address not available.
Further, check into Event Viewer, see if any errors logged there. If yes, upload them into OneDrive and post the shared link here.
Best regards

Creating a wireless network using several Airport Express(es)
I would like to connect three AirPort expresses to my Sky Broadband router to create a new wifi network in my house. My router is in the basement and is connected into a hub which provides ethernet to the house. I would like to connect the AirPorts via ethernet to the router and create a single wifi network.
Can someone please tell me if this is possible and what settings the AirPorts should have. For instance, should I just extend the sky network using each AirPort or should I create a new network with one AirPort and then extend that with the others?
Many thanks
TerryIf each of the AirPort Express devices will be connected using Ethernet, you would configure them all exactly the same except for assigning different device names...AX1, AX2, AX3, etc.
Each Express will be configured to....
Create a wireless network
Same wireless network name on all devices
Same Radio Mode
Channel set at Automatic
Same wireless security setting
Same wireless network password
Very important....configure each Express in Bridge Mode

WRT54GS and Belkin Network USB Hub
My Linksys router works fine. I'm hard wired in with a desktop computer. I have a Belkin Network USB Hub that will not work with the router. The router appears to be blocking the USB hub. If I plug the hub directly into my computer, then it will work. I have reset the router to factory setting and I still cannot see the hub. I can not find anyone that has problems with installation of the hub. How can I use the hub with my router?
The Hub I refer to connects to a router. The USB hub does not expand the number of USB devices I can use on my single computer. The hub is used to share USB devices across the network. I would like to share my printer, scanner, and external hard drive with all my computers in my house. The hub uses an Ethernet cord to connect to the router. My issue is the hub does not work when I connect it directly to the router. If I connect the hub to my computer with an Ethernet cable, then the connected USB devices show up in the loaded Belkin software (and work fine). Once I connect the hub to the router through an Ethernet cable, the computers on the network can not see any of the USB devices. This is why I assume the router is "blocking" the the network USB device. Everyone says how easy the hub is to setup. Just plug it in. I must be missing something. Belkin tech support said to contact my router support.
