Fixed unidentified network using static IP

[chicagotech]

Strangely, i was able to solve the problem. hope it doesnt re occur.

i reset the ipaddress to get automatically in IPv4 of my wireless, but it didnt instead again gave a static ip to the adapter without a gateway address. but this solved the problem. of multiple network. but i was still not able to browse the internet so i manually inserted the ip address of my netgear wireless as the gateway to my wireless network adapter and i was able to surf the net and there is only one (the right setting) network displayed in the taskbar area.

The problem is considered to be solved until it reouccurs (YN)

So the solution is reset the IP Address in the IPv4 of ur wireless and set the Gateway to the IP Address of the Wireless rrouter also set the same IPaddress (IP Address of the router) as the DNS address of your Wireless network adapter. This should solve the problem.

I have a Netgear wireless g network that connects to my computer as multiple
networks. one - as the ssid i set my network up as, and another as an
unidentified network. If i disconnect from one they both go away. The
multiple network issue causes IE not to connect.
Refreshing the IE Page Gives the required Page.
few days bacck everything was ok on my system
No changes to configuration is done. this problem started coming since my nephew who got his laptop and accesssed the internet through the same netgear simultaneously on his system along with me.
I have tried removing the "Not Preset" under advanced options of my Network adapter to the mac address it actually has.
also tried disabling the McAfee Completely.
The Netgear firmware should not be a problem as this is the issue which came up jest 2 days back and i ve been using netgear on my laptop with vista since 4 months now.
it should also not be a problem with the IPv4 Address or IPv6 being enabled etc as in the threads above.
i have not tried resetting the Netgear yet (Hardware reset)
Wondering why microsoft is not having any solution on this forum yet. is this the issue with Vista ?

Please HELP?

Just needed to say I tried everything when I had 'Unidentified Network' and only a local connection and what worked in the end - Nortons Removal Tool - as soon as it had finished my connection came back online, it may not help evryone but if you have had nortons on try the removal tool.
Hope it helps .
